Methodological note

Empty dwelling

A dwelling that is unoccupied, available for sale or rent, or even abandoned.

Collective dwelling

A dwelling intended for the inhabitation of a group, that is, for a group of people subject to an authority or common regime not based on family ties or communal living, such as senior homes or residences, barracks, convents, institutions for the disabled, prisons, etc. Group homes can partially occupy a building, or more frequently, its entirety.

The source of this information is the Population and Housing Census, which is carried out by the INE and, every ten years, provides information on the main characteristics of dwellings.
