WIESBADEN- 400,000 new dwellings, including 100,000 social dwellings, will be constructed every year to counteract the lack of affordable dwellings, according to Federal Government plans. Roughly 8.6% million people in Germany lived in overcrowded dwellings in 2021. That is 10.5% of the population, as reported by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) on the basis of first results of the survey of income and living conditions (EU-SILC) 2021. A dwelling is regarded as overcrowded if the number of rooms is too small for the number of people living there.
