Since everyone has been looking at the number of refugees based on the populations of countries, I thought it might be interesting to see how the number of refugees from Ukraine was changing the population’s access to housing in each country. Obviously it would be preferable to use housing stock instead of households, but finding housing stock data was very difficult and looked like it would cost nearly €500 so I used the number of households as a proxy. I also deleted another post as I felt reordering the countries based on the absolute value of their number of households per capita before the refugees arrived might help show the total impact across all countries.
I should add for anyone who want’s to throw around accusations, the graph quite clearly shows Slovakia and Cyprus both will have a bigger impact from the Ukraine crisis than us in terms of the prior state of their housing before and the change caused by it.
Also, can we please all appreciate that Poland wasn’t much above us in terms of households per capita before the Ukraine crisis, but still has been willing to take a far larger hit than nearly everyone else?
Badly designed graph. The label should be at the base of the data, not the top.
Could you explain this a little more for those of us hard of understanding?
Households per capita is a measure of what? The extent to which people are clumped? The more households per capita the less clumping. A reduction in households per capita suggests people are clumped in larger groups?
So Ireland had the 5th least number of households per capita out of all those countries before the war? Fairly shite.
