Summary/Abstract: Housing is a particularly important asset for humans. The use of dwelling of an appropriate standard determines the quality of life and affects all aspects of human well-being. Hence, it is important to monitor housing poverty, understood as the inability to meet housing needs at a specific level. The study focused on the problem of household overcrowding, which, like housing conditions problems, is one of the components of housing deprivation. The aim of the study is to present the problem of household overcrowding in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEEs). Differences occurring in rural and urban areas were indicated. European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) data for 2007-2022 were used. Household overcrowding is still a serious problem experienced in the EU countries surveyed, which poses a challenge to housing policy
