Overall, most figures showed an upward trend during the period. However, accommodation for married couples remained the most common household type, despite experiencing a noticeable decline.
Regarding family housing, the proportion of single-parent households with children increased slightly by 1% over the six-year period. Likewise, the figure for shared accommodation among other household members remained relatively stable, standing at 14% throughout the timeframe. In contrast, although couples living together continued to represent the largest proportion, this category experienced a downward trend. Specifically, in 1997, married couples accounted for the highest share at 61%, before falling sharply by around one-third to 41% in 2003.
As for single-person apartments, the figure rose significantly over the period, tripling from its initial level to reach 13% in 2003. A similar pattern can be observed in shared rooms, which accounted for only 3% in 1997 before increasing almost fourfold to 11% in 2003.
