Latest statistics on housing poverty line / Which provinces have the best and worst conditions? (Table)
According to Trade News, the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor and Social Welfare provides statistics on Housing poverty line Published in urban and rural areas. This statistic was announced in a meeting entitled “Housing Poverty in Iran” and is taken from a study in this field.
As ایسنا Reportedly, two terms were mentioned at the meeting:
Bad housing
The term refers to the percentage of people who are deprived of at least one of the dimensions of housing (access to water, access to health care, adequate living space, sustainable housing and business security).
Lack of access to affordable housing
The term refers to the percentage of people whose share of housing is more than 30% of their expenses. These individuals, in particular, are the target population of housing support programs.
The most important challenge of housing poverty in urban areas is the lack of access to affordable housing and the most important challenge of housing poverty in rural areas is poor housing. The main cause of the second problem is the type of “materials” used. Accordingly, the rate of lack of access to affordable housing in urban areas is 49 percent (9.5 million households) and the rate of poor housing in rural areas is 40 percent (2.4 million households).
Some important findings about the housing poverty line
– The rate of households without affordable housing (tenants) in 1399 was about 57%. The highest rate is related to Tehran with 79.9% and the lowest rate is related to South Khorasan with 8.3%.
– The most deprived provinces of the country in the housing sector are Sistan and Baluchestan and Kerman, which are in a worse situation than the national average in five of the six indicators studied in the housing sector.
– The trend of increasing the share of housing costs in the country since 1397 has increased more rapidly than in previous years. Economic conditions are one of the main reasons for this. BAccordingly, the share of housing costs in the household expenditure basket in Iran has been about 1.7 times this ratio in the European Union and the Eurozone.
Comparing the welfare indicators of tenants and non-tenants with the average of the whole country in 1399 shows that tenants reduce other costs and pleasures of life to meet the need for shelter and are more vulnerable in society.
