↑ Number of dwellings and population growth: new homes built and population change year on year. See the approach to estimate the historical data here.
Explore on this map the number of inhabitants per dwelling and municipality.
↑ Housing surplus or deficit: difference between housing growth (the total number of houses built in a year) and population growth divided by 2 (the total number of potential couples gained or lost in a year). Blue color indicates a housing surplus, while green color indicates a housing deficit.
↑ Distribution of new houses built per type: Single-Family or Condominiums.
↑ Construction period: number of today existing dwellings per period of construction.
The green bar is a final estimate based on the current pace of construction. If the pace remains as in 2021 (95,000 per year), the number of houses built between 2021 and 2040 will be ≈1,800,000.
↑ Cement consumption, Spain. Consumption and real price correlate positively.
Left axis (line): real price in euros per square meter.
Right axis (bars): cement consumption per year, in metric tons.
