Altogether 10.4 per cent of people living in rental dwellings burdened by housing costs in 2020
28 Jan 2022
In 2020, a total of 4.0 per cent of all persons, 10.4 per cent of those living in rental dwellings and 1.4 per cent of those living in owner-occupied dwellings belonged to households burdened by housing costs. The shares of persons were almost the same as in the previous years. These data derive from Statistics Finlands income distribution statistics .

Description: The income distribution statistics describe the distribution of the annual income of households and income differentials between different population groups. The statistics describe the amount of disposable income and its formation from different sources when taking taxation and income transfers into consideration. Income and its distribution are also examined by groups according to level of income, socio-economic status, stage in life cycle and area of residence. The statistics also describe the earned and entrepreneurial incomes of household members.
