40,7% dintre români locuiau în gospodării supraaglomerate în 2024, faţă de 16,9% în Uniunea Europeană, arată datele Eurostat

In 2024, about 40.7% of Romanians lived in overcrowded households, significantly higher than the EU average of 16.9%. Despite this, around 94% owned their homes, one of the highest rates in the EU. The 2021 census revealed that 25% of homes in Romania were unoccupied. FIDES and Concordia will host the Romania Affordable Housing Summit 2026 on October 5, focusing on financing and developing affordable housing. The president of FIDES emphasized the need for a coherent housing strategy to address these issues. Recent EU policies aim to provide funding for affordable housing, with an estimated annual need for 650,000 additional homes in the EU, requiring around 150 billion euros in investments.
