In 2025, individuals living in overcrowded conditions were predominantly those in households with children and adults holding foreign citizenship, who experienced overcrowding at five times the rate of German citizens over 18. Vulnerable populations, including those at risk of poverty, were also significantly impacted, with children and adolescents facing more cramped living conditions than seniors aged 65 and older. The report highlights the escalating difficulty in finding suitable and affordable housing, especially for those requiring more space. Comparatively, the EU’s average overcrowding rate stood at 16.8%, with Romania and Latvia exhibiting the highest rates at 40.4% and 38.9%, respectively.
