Among adults aged 18 and older, 24 percent are satisfied or very satisfied with the housing supply in their region. Satisfaction with the supply of other facilities is much higher.

Among adults aged 18 and older, 38 percent expect the housing supply in their region to worsen in the coming years, while 18 percent think it will improve. For other facilities, opinions are less divided and less change is expected. About 20 percent think that the supply of general practitioners, public transport, and green space in their region will worsen. The least change is expected in the supply of sports facilities, and restaurants and cafes.
Especially residents of North Holland and Utrecht are dissatisfied with the housing supply in their region (about 60 percent). In the northern provinces and Zeeland, residents are more often satisfied: over 30 percent of the residents of these provinces are (very) satisfied with the housing supply.
Residents of North Holland and Utrecht also often expect the housing supply to worsen in the coming years (over 40 percent). This also applies to residents of Gelderland and South Holland. In Friesland and Drenthe, less than 30 percent expect a deterioration.
Although residents of Zeeland are somewhat more satisfied with the housing supply in their region, they are less positive about the supply of other facilities – such as hospitals, culture, and schools. This is especially true for public transport: 22 percent of Zeeland residents are satisfied with this. In other provinces, that is 49 to 75 percent.
Residents of Zeeland also relatively often expect a deterioration of the supply of other facilities in their region. For example, nearly half believe that the supply of public transport will decline in the coming years; about 35 percent expect this for hospitals and general practitioners, and over 20 percent expect a deterioration in the supply of schools.
