Housing costs impact significant portion of workers in Asturias and Castilla y León

A Randstad study on employee salaries reveals that a high percentage of workers in several Spanish regions are spending more than half of their income on housing costs, such as rent or mortgages.

In Asturias, 29.8% of workers allocate over 50% of their salary to housing. Specifically, 19.2% spend between 50% and 65%, while 10.6% spend more than 65%. However, Asturias also has one of the highest proportions of workers keeping housing costs below 25% of their income, at 22.5%.

In Castilla y León, 30% of employees dedicate more than half of their income to housing. This includes 17.5% spending between 50% and 65%, and 12.5% spending over 65%. Only 16.4% of workers in this region manage to keep housing expenses below 25% of their earnings.

Nationally, the study shows that 37.6% of Spanish workers spend more than half of their salary on housing. The data highlights demographic disparities, noting that women and workers aged 25 to 44 are among the groups most affected by these residential costs.
