Spain and Portugal are facing one of the worst housing crises in the EU, with a shortage of housing due to immigration, bureaucracy, and high construction costs. Portugal built 300,000 fewer homes than needed between 2021 and 2025, while Spain had a deficit of 750,000 homes during the same period. The housing shortage is particularly acute in major cities, with Lisbon and Oporto being among the most affected areas in Portugal.
The countries have some of the lowest proportions of public housing in the EU, and the situation is fueling social discontent and political tensions.
