INDICATOR DESCRIPTION
The housing cost overburden rate is the percentage of persons living in households where the total housing costs (net of housing allowances) represent more than 40% of the total disposable household income (net of housing allowances). In the calculation of the housing cost burden all annual costs connected with the household's right to live in the accommodation are included (housing and mortgage interest payment, rental payments, structural insurance, regular maintenance and repairs, services and charges - sewage removal, refuse removal and the costs of utilities - water, electricity, gas, heating, etc.), net of housing allowances. Housing cost burden (the share of housing costs in the total disposable household income) is the same for all of the persons in the same household.

Income, poverty and social exclusion indicators are published for the SILC (Statistics on Income and Living Conditions) survey year. The data on income for calculating these indicators are from a year earlier, i.e. the year before the survey is conducted.
