The first dashboard explores how people are experiencing housing challenges today, including housing satisfaction, affordability pressures, housing stability, wellbeing, climate concerns, and other impacts of housing conditions on daily life. The second dashboard explores perspectives on housing solutions, including priorities for better housing, support for affordable and social housing, and views on who should be responsible for improving housing conditions.

About the research

Home at What Cost? draws on survey responses from 30,758 people across 22 countries. The survey included nationally representative online samples in each country, with additional targeted respondents designed to better capture groups who are often underrepresented in public opinion research, including low-income respondents and people living in informal arrangements. 

Supplemental fieldwork approaches were used in select countries to increase reach among populations who were less accessible through online panels.
