This looks like a very good thing, actually!
It means that costs of living, and, hopefully without a very big delay, also the income, are getting closer to one standard level around the EU.
This looks like the gap between “eastern block” and “western European countries” as they were in 1980’s is being bridged.
Only NL worries me here. What the hell is going on over there?!
in hungary we are very much feeling that the cost of everything is nearing costs in western countries, but the wages are largely staying the same, not even being properly corrected for inflation
Well, you have Orbán. That’s what an autocratic leader causes. There might of course be other reasons additionally to that. Wonder how it currently goes in Poland, Czechia, or Romania?
Finland wins again!
nope, if they have taken the data from entire country it means that countryside is dying. at the moment you couldnt get rid of your house for free in some places i think, or some are selling for like 1000€. on big cities its same shit as everywhere else.
But has that been happening more in this time frame than before?
I don’t think that explains what we see on this map, even though what Keskusta is doing to our countryside is horrible indeed!
We’re having an economical crisis lol
Also winning on the unemployment numbers! High is good right?

I think this map needs to have more granular separation to make sense
City vs. Countryside would be way more informative I think
So, in many places somewhat less than inflation. This does not seem to be the dominant media narrative.
Relation to inflation is irrelevant insofar as the latter doesn’t reflect on wages
Nice map, but if I remember it correctly, housing prices in 2019 were the same as in 2008 before the crisis. Houses are still too expensive here in the Netherlands, but this reeks of cherry picking.
