This paper analyses the differences on housing poverty across EU countries. By using EU-Silc data base, the metrics of housing poverty are estimated by country during 2005-2019. The paper analyses different aspects of housing poverty as the incidence, the relationship with poverty, the tenure effect on this type of poverty and the relationship with the household type. By using panel data methodology, the paper explores the housing-related reasons to explain the poverty likelihood in the 27 EU countries.
