  • Abstract:

    Each year the United Nations publishes the Annual Bulletin of Housing and Building Statistics for Europe. This constitutes an important source for information and is widely used. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate what more could be done with the bulletin. The methods proposed are in no way sophisticated; quite the contrary, only the most rudimentary logic and elementary arithmetic will be employed, combined in certain cases with a measure of technical expertise and some familiarity with housing and building. Consequently, this paper will focus ’only’ on how data should be collated and presented in order to make the tables of statistics less misleading, more user-friendly and - hopefully - more directly applicable.
