Mainly household-dwelling units of one to two persons in rented dwellings

According to Statistics Finland's data, the majority of those living in rented dwellings, 85 per cent, were living alone or together with another person, while in owner-occupied dwellings the corresponding share was 68 per cent. Seven per cent of the household-dwelling units living in rented dwellings and 19 per cent of those living in owner-occupied dwellings were larger household-dwelling units with at least four persons. At the end of 2009, the number of permanently occupied rented dwellings was around 763,000, of which 48 per cent were government-subsidised or interest-subsidised rented dwellings.
