The statistic shows the homeownership rate in selected European countries in 2016. The home ownership rate is the share of owner-occupied dwellings of all homes. In 2016, the homeownership rate in Norway amounted to 82.7 percent.
The homeownership rate in the presented European countries extended from 42.5 percent in Switzerland to as much as 96 percent in Romania. More developed European countries, such as France or Germany, tended to have a lower homeownership rate compared to the frontier countries, such as Lithuania or Slovakia. The share of house owners among the population of all 28 European countries has remained relatively stable over the past few years, amounting to approximately 69 percent.
