Housing & Dwellings in Bolivia

Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.

Far lower housing costs set Bolivia apart from the rest of the state and country. Most residents own their homes outright, and there are virtually no renters in the area. This creates a housing market that is much more affordable than the national trend.
