About this Dataset

Housing - Regions

This dataset provides statistics on rooms per capita, home ownership rate and housing costs as a percentage of disposable income in subnational regions.

Data definition and source

Rooms per capita is the average number of rooms available per person in a household. A room is typically defined as a space in a dwelling intended for habitation, such as bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, and other spaces, excluding bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and utility rooms.
Home ownership rate refers to the percentage of people who own the home where they live (own outright and with a morgage).
Housing costs as a percentage of disposable income considers the expenditure of households in housing - such as mortgages and rents - and maintenance of the house - including water, electricity, gas and other fuels, as well as furnishings, household equipment and routine maintenance of the house.

Data sources are detailled in OECD Regions and Cities at a Glance 2024 - Annex B

Definition of regions

Regions are subnational units below national boundaries. OECD countries have two regional levels: large regions (territorial level 2 or TL2) and small regions (territorial level 3 or TL3). The OECD regions are presented in the OECD Territorial grid (pdf) and in the OECD Territorial correspondence table (xlsx).
