Housing has been consolidated as the main problem of Basque society: concern has reached bubble age levels
The last Sociometer of the Basque Government shows an increase in concern for precariousness and economic problems, while the concern for crime is reduced.
Access to housing is by far the main problem of Basque society, and the level of concern has reached the level of the housing bubble. More than half of the respondents mention housing as one of the first problems of Basque society, 57% in particular, in the last Sociometer of the Basque Government. The analysis also shows an increase in concern about job insecurity and economic problems.
On Friday, the Basque Government published the latest Sociometer, which highlights the growing concern about material problems. In the case of housing, the level of concern is similar to that of the previous Sociometer in December and is the highest in the last 19 years (58% in 2007).
Precariousness and economic problems
Under the heading "Problems related to the labour market", the increase is remarkable: 47 per cent mention it among the main problems, five points higher than in the previous Sociometer; concern about "economic problems" also increases in a similar way: 20 per cent of the respondents mention it, six points higher than in December.
On the other hand, concern about the state of the health system remains unchanged, with 28 per cent of those surveyed among the main problems. The level of the previous Sociometer is the same, far from its peak in 2024 and 2025 (reaching 35 per cent).
On the other hand, concern about crime has been reduced, with 19 per cent of the respondents mentioning it, significantly lower than at its historic peak in December (26 per cent). Concern about immigration has also decreased slightly, from 15 per cent to the current 12 per cent.
