What are our homes like?

The basic characteristics of dwellings are collected annually in the Living Conditions Survey and more specifically in the housing modules that households complete periodically. The harmonised publication of this data in the countries that make up the European Union allows us to make comparisons between them and observe how some of these indicators have evolved over time.

        03/2020
        Description
        The emergency caused by COVID-19 and the consequent obligatory confinement to the home in the majority of European countries, resulted in a modification to the population¿s habitual behaviours and adaptations to the current circumstances. Selected data regarding households and dwellings within the European Union is provided here. It is extracted from the website of the European Statistical Office (Eurostat), and it can help to understand situational disparities: the population living alone, especially the elderly, the percentage of emancipated youth, the population living in urban centres, and the housing type (flats or independent houses). This information is completed using internal and external sources regarding the importance of second homes within countries, as part of population habits, and the weight by regions and provinces within Spain.

        Description
        El desarrollo de las sociedades ha ido unido a un incremento de la preocupación por el cuidado del entorno en el que vivimos. La necesidad de tomar decisiones adecuadas en ámbitos tan relevantes como la reducción de la contaminación, la gestión y tratamiento de los residuos generados, la disponibilidad y el uso de recursos naturales, las inversiones que realizan las empresas para conseguir procesos productivos menos agresivos con el medioambiente o el tipo de producto o actividad que va a sufrir mayor presión fiscal por el hecho de ser más contaminante, ha ocasionado en los últimos años un crecimiento exponencial de la demanda de más y mejores estadísticas relacionadas con el medioambiente. De hecho, la mayoría de los organismos internacionales han destinado importantes recursos a la elaboración de sistemas de cuentas ambientales y económicas integrados. El Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) no ha sido ajeno a este importante incremento de la demanda de estadísticas y cuentas ambientales. En los últimos años se han elaborado diferentes estadísticas y cuentas ambientales. A continuación, se ofrecen los últimos resultados disponibles con motivo del día mundial del medio ambiente.
