Europe faces a housing crisis due to rising living costs, particularly affecting those spending over 40% of their income on housing. Eurostat reports that in 2025, the EU average was 7.7%. The main issue is the rapid increase in housing costs, including rents and property prices, outpacing income growth, especially for low earners. Greece has the highest rate in Europe, with 26.4% of households spending over 40% of their income on housing. Other countries with high rates include Denmark, Germany, and Sweden. The situation varies significantly across countries due to differences in economic conditions and social protection systems. In the EU, over 34 million people are affected, with low-income individuals being the most impacted.
