Hittestress in de woning is een urgent thema. Wat weinig aandacht krijgt: degenen die het meest worden blootgesteld aan hittestress kunnen er het minst tegen doen.

Ik sluit het stuk af met een aantal beleidsopties, waaronder het makkelijker maken woningen te delen en hier meer rekening te houden bij toewijzing. Maar ook door fiscale prikkels (zoals het evenredig belasten van woningwaarde)

Kijken we naar woningeigendom, dan is ruim wonen de standaard onder huiseigenaren. Woningcorporaties slagen er nog het best in hun huurders passend te huisvesten (hier: niet te ruim of te krap).

Houden we deze indeling aan, dan zien we dat 79% van de rijkste 10% Nederlandse huishoudens een (sterk) overdadige woonruimte consumptie kent. Onder lagere inkomens is dit weliswaar een stuk minder wijdverbreid, maar komt ruim wonen alsnog regelmatig voor. >>>

Het aandeel sociale huurwoningen dat naar statushouders gaat is de afgelopen jaren licht toegenomen. Dat komt niet omdat er meer woningen naar statushouders gaan, maar omdat er minder sociale huur beschikbaar komt. Het aantal nieuwe toewijzingen daalde nl van 224.000 in 2025 naar 166.000 in 2023

De hoeveelheid aandacht die naar statushouders gaat is krankzinnig. Even wat cijfers: - jaarlijks gaan +/- 15.000 corporatiewoningen naar statushouders - totaal verhuringen door corporaties: 166.000 - totaal mutaties hele woningvoorraad (koop+huur): +/- 525.000-550.000 woningen (schatting)
