Bullshit headline and bullshit article. The metric used is rooms not square meters or plot size. Rooms per person is not how you calculate the size of a property. Btw malta has the lowest birthrate in euro.
Lol with these new closet flats that cost 250k.. the old homes maybe
Room per person, that’s not a metric you come across often 🤣
Rooms per person has to be the dumbest metric going. Bedroom, bathroom, kitchen. That’s three rooms right there. Add a fourth to account for a living room that opens straight to the street. For for a single-occupancy property, there’s going to be four rooms, minimum.
That statistic might be more indicative of household size than house size.
Even though Continental Europeans are generally poorer than the Maltese I always assumed they had larger houses considering the size of their countries. It’s incredible that they’re worse than Malta even in that regard.
This part was particularly shocking to me:
> Only 2.4% of the Maltese population is living in crowded homes; a much lower rate than the average of **almost 17% of Europeans who live in crowded homes**.
And also the smallest families…
I think this applies to boomers only.
Love Malta but its not Europe. Likewise with the Canary islands. Downvote me all you want😂
@OP Malta had very strange building regulations for a very long time:
-new block of apartments can only have a maximum of 20% 1-bedroom apartments.
-minimum size for 1-bedroom apartment is 55 m2, minimum size for 2-bedroom apartment is 80 m2, etc.
As a result very few studio apartments (and no micro-apartments) are built, most are large 3-bedroom apartments. The fact those 3-bedroom apartments are getting smaller, and more and more of those apartments are being ‘shared’ with many, many, many people is a DIFFERENT discussion. 🙂 But the article’s headline is technically correct, even in square meters.
