How to read this diagram

Percentage of the population living in households where total housing costs, net of housing allowances, exceed 40% of total disposable household income, net of housing allowances. Rank reported values for one shared year; show ten highest, with a linear scale anchored at zero. Select the newest year with at least half the highest annual count of reporting economies in this retained dataset (18 minimum). Missing values are excluded from the ranking and remain in the table; ties sort by geography code.

30 of 35 retained reporting economies have values in 2025; coverage is not a complete world ranking. Highest does not imply best.

EU-SILC survey methods and breaks may affect comparability. Original status flags are retained.

Only EU, EFTA and eligible candidate-country data are selected for reusable public output.

Regional aggregates and poverty-status subgroup rows are excluded.

Source notes and numeric strings remain unchanged in downloads. The latest retained reporting year can differ across datasets.
