Housing & Dwellings in Denmark
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Nearly half of all homes in Denmark are owned outright, a figure far above the national average. This makes for a stable housing landscape where few people rent and detached houses are the norm. Most residents live in separate houses, with 91.5% of all dwellings fitting this description.
