EU housing cost overburden rate rises across member states

Original: EU: Housing costs overburden rate as proportion of households having housing costs more than 40% of their income Europe’

New attention is on the EU's housing cost overburden rate, which measures the share of households spending more than 40% of their income on housing. Commentators describe a continuing 'housing squeeze' across Europe, noting the proportion has been gradually rising, putting growing financial pressure on lower and middle income households and fuelling debate over affordability policy.

Why now: Housing affordability is worsening across Europe and the EU statistic quantifies how many households are severely burdened.
