482 homes per 1,000 inhabitants/ Albania, among the European countries with the most homes per capita
The Deloitte Property Index report presents a broad overview of the housing stock in European countries, showing the large differences that exist between different markets. The European average reaches 450 homes per 1,000 inhabitants, but many countries significantly exceed this level, while others remain significantly below it. In this context, Albania presents a particularly interesting situation.
According to reported data, Albania has 482 dwellings per 1,000 inhabitants, a figure significantly higher than the European average and among the highest in the report. This level places the country above many developed European economies, including the United Kingdom, Israel and Greece.
For the second year in a row, Bulgaria tops the list with the highest housing stock per capita, offering 672 homes per 1,000 inhabitants. It is followed by France (556) and Belgium (490), both of which maintain a relatively high housing stock compared to the European average.
On the other hand, Greece again reports the lowest housing stock per capita, with only 288 homes per 1,000 inhabitants, a figure that may reflect long-term structural and economic constraints. Israel and the United Kingdom follow, with 295 and 375 homes per 1,000 inhabitants respectively.
This result shows that Albania has a significant number of housing units in relation to its population. This is related to several main factors. First, the country has a strong tradition of home ownership, with families often owning more than one housing unit, either for family purposes or as an inheritance. Second, high emigration over the years has led to a decrease in the real number of resident inhabitants, while many dwellings remain empty or are only partially used. Third, the intensive development of the construction sector, especially after the 2000s and especially in urban and tourist areas, has created a large stock of new housing that often exceeds the rate of population growth.
