Onderzoeksresultaten 2021 Wonen in Amsterdam (WiA)
Het onderzoek ‘Wonen in Amsterdam’ brengt sinds 1995 elke twee jaar het wonen in de stad in beeld. In 2021 is dit onderzoek voor de veertiende keer uitgevoerd. De Directie Wonen van Gemeente Amsterdam maakt standaard twee factsheets 'woningmarkt' en 'leefbaarheid'. Daarnaast wordt WiA gebruikt in andere rapportages, zoals in 2021 het rapport 'Wijken in de mix'.
Hieronder treft u de factsheets 'Woningmarkt' en 'Leefbaarheid'. Deze gaan primair over de ontwikkelingen tussen 1 januari 2019 en 1 januari 2021. Hierin wordt in beeld gebracht wat de ontwikkeling is van de woningvoorraad naar prijssegmenten en de samenstelling van de bevolking naar inkomensgroepen. Ook worden de tevredenheid met de woning en woonomgeving, en de woon- en verhuiswensen van Amsterdammers in kaart gebracht. Het rapport ‘Wijken in de mix’ gaat, zoals de factsheet woningmarkt, eveneens over de samenstelling van de woningvoorraad in relatie tot de inkomensstructuur, maar dan op het niveau van de 22 gebieden en 91 wijken. Daarnaast speelt de combinatie van huishoudensgrootte en woninggrootte een belangrijke rol in de gemengdheid van de wijken.
Cijfers uit WiA worden als input gebruikt door stadsdelen en directies voor het opstellen van beleid, programma's, voor uitvoering en monitoring. Daarmee zijn deze onderzoeken een belangrijke graadmeter voor het Amsterdamse woonbeleid. -

Equal opportunities in the housing market
Having a roof over your head is a fundamental human right. It is a basic necessity of life that makes it possible to lead a dignified life. This fundamental right is under pressure when people do not have equal opportunities when looking for a (rental) home. Recent research shows that one in three home seekers suspect that he, she or them is being discriminated against when getting a rental home. When someone is unable to find a home, this can have serious consequences. A house is the basis for building an existence. In addition, experiencing discrimination can have harmful consequences for people's health and well-being.

Student housing in Amsterdam
Despite the fact that 11,000 units were built in Amsterdam for young people and students in the period 2014-2018, the housing situation has not improved. Young people and students have competition from many other groups in the housing market, who often have more to spend. In addition, the number of students is still growing and in 2018 there is a shortage of 9,400 student residences. The shortage of housing for young people is not exactly known, but it is estimated at 8,000 to 22,000 homes.

Housing crisis
Amsterdam has a major shortage of affordable houses. The waiting lists are too long, house prices too high, houses that become available are shooting up in rent or purchase price and too many Amsterdammers are forced to leave the city because they cannot find a suitable home. The construction of tens of thousands of new and sustainable houses is needed to meet the need for housing. It is not only about building many more houses, but also about the affordability of the Amsterdam housing market. This requires change in the housing market. This is a historically high ambition and this at a time when the role of the government is more limited and that of the market is greater.

Sustainable construction and housing
We are going to live sustainably in Amsterdam. Among other things, by going off natural gas. Just like the rest of the Netherlands. The use of natural gas is responsible for a significant part of CO2 emissions and thus for global warming. This means that all Amsterdam homes and buildings must be connected to an energy source other than natural gas for heating, cooking and showering. In addition, we will generate more sustainable energy, for example through solar panels. And save energy, for example by turning the heating down slightly.

Housing for the elderly in Amsterdam
The number of vulnerable older people is increasing and life in nursing homes or residential homes is changing. In general, more and more elderly people are living independently at home with less professional help. A positive contribution of neighborhoods to the elderly is therefore becoming increasingly important for their quality of life. Only the most vulnerable elderly move to a nursing home or residential home. The reporting about this is not always positive and there are concerns about the lives of the residents.

Homeless in Amsterdam
The number of homeless people in the Netherlands has risen in recent years to 39,000 in 2018. Although the figures appear to be stagnating, according to the CBS, as of January 1, 2020, the Netherlands still has 36,000 homeless people. In 2020 we will have approximately 4,700 people in Amsterdam-Amstelland with customized services within Social Relief and Protected Living, and this is still far from sufficient, because there are also approximately 2,000 people on a waiting list. That is still too many. It concerns adults, young adults and families with children who for various reasons do not have a roof over their heads.
