Housing costs are increasingly burdensome for many Europeans, with millions spending over 40% of their income. In Romania, however, the situation remains relatively stable, with only 5% of households exceeding this threshold. The rise in housing prices across the EU has been significant, with an average increase of 69% over the past decade. Countries like Greece and Denmark face much higher rates of housing cost burdens, while Romania's figures are among the lowest in the region. As energy prices continue to rise, the percentage of households spending a large portion of their income on housing may increase in the coming years.
