Eurostat

Inability to keep home adequately warm (annual, Europe)

Annual share of the population unable to keep their home adequately warm because of affordability - Eurostat's headline energy-poverty indicator - for EU member states, EFTA countries, EU candidate countries and EU/euro-area aggregates. Eurostat dataset ilc_mdes01 ('Inability to keep home adequately warm'), filtered to hhcomp=TOTAL (all household compositions), rskpovth=TOTAL (all income groups), unit=PC (percent of population). Each row is one (year, country). Method: Eurostat compiles EU-SILC microdata transmitted by the member states; non-EU/EFTA/candidate countries (the UK and Kosovo/XK) are dropped (same licensing rule as the other Eurostat datasets). Units: percent of population. Caveats: this is a subjective EU-SILC indicator and not directly comparable across countries' survey implementations; the 2021 EU-SILC methodological revision breaks comparability with pre-2021 values for some countries; the UK and Kosovo (XK) are dropped by the connector's commercial-use geo rule; the EU, EU27_2020, EU28, EU27_2007, EA, EA18, EA19, EA20 and EA21 aggregates are included as published. Coverage: ~44 geographic units after the geo rule, 2003 to the present, annual.

Join keys: country_code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), year. Cadence: refreshed yearly; Eurostat updates EU-SILC indicators in autumn. Sample use: filter country_code='GRC' to track energy poverty in Greece over time.
