1.8 million

Dutch families don't consider
their home to be ideal

The housing situation of 1.8 million households in the Netherlands (22%) does not match their preference for owning or renting. For instance, 14% of homeowners would prefer to rent (see Figure 1), representing 8% of the total number of households. Of the tenants in the social housing sector, 31% (8% of the total number of households) would prefer to own. Among private-sector tenants, the figure is as high as 49% (6% of the total). The latter is presumably because rents in the private sector are unsubsidised and relatively high. The fact that buying a home is not a realistic option for some social housing tenants may influence their preferences.
