Table explanation


This table contains figures on the housing costs of private households in independent homes. Households living (temporarily) in a house free of charge are not included. The figures are presented for both owners and tenants and can be further divided into various characteristics of the household and the dwelling.

Data available as of year: 2009-2015

Status of the figures: final.

Changes as of 4 april 2019:
None, this table was stopped.

When will new figures be published?
This table is stopped.
This table is stopped as a consequence of a revision of the income data in 2015. The housing costs are based on this income data. Therefore it is no longer possible to determine the housing costs for WoON 2018 in the same way as before. Consequently the housing costs for WoON 2012 and 2015 have also been revised. For WoON 2009 this however was not possible, since 2011 was the last year of the revision. Subsequently the housing costs for WoON 2012, 2015 and 2018 are included in the new table Housing costs of households; household and dwelling characteristics. See the link in paragraph 3.
