Access to good quality and affordable accommodation is a fundamental need and a right. But meeting this need is still a significant challenge in a number of European Union countries. Poor housing conditions point to a risk of poverty and social exclusion. In 2009, 6.0% of the EU population suffered from severe housing deprivation. The most frequent problems were noise from the neighbourhood (22.2%), overcrowding (17.8%) and pollution, grime or other environmental problems (16.5%). In addition, 12.2% of people in the EU lived in households affected by high housing costs. |
