Românii dețin cele mai multe locuințe din UE, dar locuiesc în gospodării supraaglomerate

In 2024, 40.7% of Romanians lived in overcrowded households, significantly higher than the EU average of 16.9%. Despite this, around 94% of the Romanian population owned their homes, one of the highest rates in the EU. The 2021 census revealed that about 25% of homes in Romania were unoccupied. The FIDES organization emphasizes the need for a coherent housing strategy to address these issues, especially in light of upcoming EU funding opportunities. The Romania Affordable Housing Summit 2026 aims to foster collaboration between authorities, financiers, and the private sector to improve housing accessibility. The EU requires approximately 650,000 additional homes annually, with an estimated investment need of 150 billion euros per year to meet this demand.
