This statistic displays the number of households in Belgium from 2011 to 2023. In 2011, Belgium had approximately 4.7 million households, increasing to over 5.1 million households in 2023. As this number has increased every year between 2011 and 2023, the number of households in Belgium is likely to increase even further in the future. When looking at the
household types in 2023, it shows that the largest number of households in Belgium are single-person households, followed by married couples with and without children living at home. Of the over five million households in 2021, approximately 1.8 million were single-person households. Whereas some of the increase can be linked to the
growing population, a trend towards more single-person households is also visible.
