In 2020, 5.9% of people in the EU reported not having enough daylight in their dwelling, meaning their dwelling seemed too dark and was viewed as a problem for the household.

In 2020, over 10% of people living in Spain considered their dwelling too dark (10.6%), which was the highest share recorded among the EU Member States.

Romania is close to the EU average, so that in 2020, 5.2% of Romanians estimated that they do not benefit from enough natural light in their homes, up from 4.5% in 2019.
