About these figures

Share of people who say they cannot afford to keep their home adequately warm.

What people report in a survey, not a measured temperature.

Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and the Western Balkan countries are ranked too, but are not in the EU average.

Ranks and colour steps are ours. Eurostat is not responsible for how the figures are shown here. See the figures on Eurostat's site.
