The name at the source «Housing cost overburden rate»
What this number is
Across all tenure statuses (owned with or without a mortgage, rented at market price or at a reduced rent or free), it is the share of people whose household spends more than 40 % of its disposable income on housing. Disposable income is what the household receives, from work, investment and social benefits, after the taxes and social contributions it pays; housing allowances are deducted from both the income and the housing costs.
Down from 2024. Below the European Union average.
