UN-Habitat reports the global housing deficit increased from 251 million units in 2010 to 288 million units in 2023.
What this does not establish
The deficit series does not prove that construction alone will resolve adequacy or affordability.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Definitions, household formation and country reporting vary across the period.
What would change the reading
Replace with revised UN-Habitat series and country-level definitions when published.
