Compare the index across time to see whether pressure on small units is easing, holding steady, or becoming more pronounced in Purmerend.

What the data shows

  1. 1

    An elevated reading suggests affordability is being preserved partly by reducing space, not by improving access to larger homes.

  2. 2

    Purmerend can be read against other Dutch locations to see whether compact-unit pressure is local or part of a wider pattern.

  3. 3

    The signal is most meaningful when combined with broader rent pressure and the mix of available unit sizes.

  4. 4

    A softer reading points to less dependence on micro units as the main affordability release valve.

  5. 5

    Changes in stock composition can move the index even when underlying demand conditions are stable.

What to look at next

  • Interpret the index as a sign of affordability strain rather than a simple preference for smaller homes.
