Spain is the European country where a higher percentage of the population live in apartments. According to the Eurostat data on the housing conditions of Europeans, published today, two out of every three Spaniards live in an apartment and only one third live in a single-family house. Almost 80% of Spanish people are homeowners and only 20% are renting, although these numbers have changed during the crisis and youth prefers to rent rather than get into a mortgage. Typically, the core family lives together, mother, father and children. It is common for Students to share an apartment or a house if they are studying far from home.
