The CZSO published data on housing arrangements from the Census 2021

27 July 2022

In connection with the previously published data on dwellings, the CZSO also published basic data on the housing arrangements of the population.

The Czech Republic is, of course, completely dominated by housing in conventional dwellings - the total number of people living in dwellings in the 2021 Census exceeded 10.1 million. Another almost 190 thousand people lived in collective living quarters such as hostels, homes for the elderly, social care facilities, student hostels, etc., and almost 230 thousand people lived in other housing units (outside dwellings or institutions).

The biggest differences between regions in the structure of population by type of housing arrangements were the Capital City of Prague and the Karlovarský Region. The Capital City of Prague had the highest share of residents living in dwellings and the lowest share of residents living in other housing units and institutions of all regions, while the Karlovarský Region did the opposite. However, there were no significant differences in this respect in the inter-regional comparison.

The published results, including tables and cartograms down to the regional level, are available on the website www.scitani.cz, while more detailed data are available in the CZSO Public Database and Open Data datasets. The complete data can be downloaded in open CSV format from the Census 2021 Results - Open Data page (Czech only).
