According to SCB's figures, however, the expenses for owned homes have increased more in percentage terms in recent years.
"The fact that housing expenses for owner-occupied and tenant-owned apartments have increased more is largely due to the fact that interest expenses for mortgages have increased sharply," says Marcus Vingren, researcher at SCB, in a press release.
In 2024, 1.8 million households lived in rental apartments, of which one million were single-person households. Their median expenditure is around 81,000 per year.
In tenant-owned apartments, approximately half of the households are single-person households, and they pay 77,000 kronor per year for housing. In owner-occupied apartments, the median expenditure for single-person households is 76,000 kronor per year.
Housing expenses have increased for all forms of tenure since 2021, when SCB conducted the last measurement. The rent-controlled apartments' expenditure has increased the least in percentage terms, approximately 18 percent, while the tenant-owned apartments' expenditure has increased by almost 29 percent.<|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|> According to SCB's figures, however, the expenses for owned homes have increased more in percentage terms in recent years.
