Housing investment needs in the EU

Abstract

Housing demand varies considerably between Member States and regions, reflecting diverse demographic and market conditions. In one third of all NUTS 3 regions construction did not manage to keep up with expanding demographic trends. Metropolitan areas have experienced strong household growth, partly due to smaller average household sizes. In contrast, many rural regions face lower demand or even an oversupply of housing. Based on ECFIN-JRC mapadomo data and population projections, a bottom-up approach is applied to estimate housing needs and the housing construction gap at granular, NUTS 3 level. Findings indicate that housing supply should expand significantly to keep pace with projected household numbers.
