A comparison of data between 2010 and 2020 shows a strong increase in the share of young people who describe housing as a very important personal problem. The data show a strong emphasis is put on the issue of the financial capability to buy or rent an apartment. Another aspect of the housing problem can be identified in young peo- ple’s increased sensitivity to this problem. The growth in housing prices over the last two decades contributed to young people’s increased sensi- tivity to this issue. This has also resulted in a somewhat paradoxical in- crease in satisfaction with existing living conditions. Young people are generally very satisfied with their housing conditions. Thus, compared to 2010, in 2020 there was an increase in the share of young people who rated their housing conditions as very good. In the period 2010–2020, only between 1.6% and 4.3% of young people rated housing conditions as poor or very poor.
