Habitat for Humanity调查22国30758人：75%受访者削减开支支付住房成本、33%少买食物
Habitat for Humanity International（仁爱之家国际）2026年10月5日在亚特兰大发布全球研究报告《Home at What Cost?》（《家，要付出什么代价？》）：一项覆盖22个国家、30,758人的全国代表性调查显示，四分之三（75%）的受访者过去一年曾为支付住房成本削减至少一项开支，其中33%减少食物开支、13%推迟或避免就医。
调查于2026年4月10日至6月30日进行，覆盖包括美国在内的22个国家。数据显示，住房压力对弱势群体冲击最大：非正规居住者中89%削减了开支，低收入群体为85%，Z世代与千禧一代为81%。32%的受访者动用储蓄或应急资金支付住房成本；近半数（48%）受访者表示，一次意外事件就可能威胁其住房稳定；40%表示因无力承担更安全的选择而接受某种程度的住房风险；56%认为本国的住房体系“已经失灵或不起作用”。
报告还显示，56%的受访者表示住房成本使他们难以考虑组建家庭，这一比例在Z世代与千禧一代中达62%；58%的父母与监护人担心住房成本限制孩子的机会；超过三分之一（35%）的受访者称住房状况是生活中最大的压力来源之一。在美国，非房主中有42%表示不指望自己一生中能够拥有一套住房。
Habitat for Humanity International首席执行官Jonathan Reckford表示：“家不应以牺牲你的健康或未来为代价。它应当是健康、机会与财务安全的基石。然而超过半数的人认为本国的住房体系已经失灵，或根本不为他们运转。我们不能接受一个人们不得不降低对‘家’之期待的未来。”该机构呼吁各国政府采取政治承诺与投资，将住房承诺转化为实际路径；呼吁企业拓展与创新住房融资机会；呼吁伙伴与公众用行动推动政策改变。
Habitat for Humanity成立于1976年，迄今已帮助全球超过6500万人获得体面住房。本报告基于该机构委托开展的原创民意研究，完整报告可查其官网habitat.org/HomeAtWhatCost页面。

Habitat for Humanity Survey of 30,758 People in 22 Countries: 75% Cut Back on Essentials to Afford Housing
Habitat for Humanity International released a global research report, “Home at What Cost?”, in Atlanta on October 5, 2026, finding that housing costs are forcing millions of people into difficult trade-offs. Based on nationally representative surveys of 30,758 people across 22 countries, the report found that three in four respondents (75%) have cut back on at least one expense in the past year to afford housing costs, including 33% who spent less on food and 13% who delayed or avoided medical care.
The survey was conducted between April 10 and June 30, 2026, across 22 countries including the United States. The pressures fall hardest on people already facing greater housing vulnerability: 89% of those living in informal arrangements cut back on expenses, as did 85% of lower-income respondents and 81% of Gen Z and Millennials. Nearly one-third (32%) dipped into savings or emergency funds, nearly half (48%) said one unexpected problem could threaten their ability to stay housed, 40% said they accept some level of housing risk because safer options are out of reach, and 56% said the housing system in their country is broken or does not work.
The report also found that 56% of respondents say housing costs make it difficult to consider starting a family, rising to 62% among Gen Z and Millennials; 58% of parents and guardians worry that housing costs are limiting opportunities for their children; and more than one in three (35%) say their housing situation is one of the biggest sources of stress in their lives. In the United States, nearly half of non-homeowners (42%) say they don't expect to own a home at some point in their life.
“A home should never come at the cost of your health or your future. It should be the foundation of health, opportunity and financial security. Yet more than half of people believe the housing system in their country is broken or simply isn't working for them,” said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. “We cannot accept a future where people have to lower their expectations for what a home should provide.” Habitat is calling on governments to move from housing promises to housing pathways through political commitment and investment, on businesses to expand and innovate housing finance opportunities, and on partners and individuals to help drive lasting housing solutions.
Founded in 1976, Habitat for Humanity has helped more than 65 million people globally build their futures through access to decent housing. The full report is available at habitat.org/HomeAtWhatCost.
