The latest shared published year no later than 2025. No interpolation. Countries are selected editorially; this is not a ranking or a statistical test.
“At least” is a lower bound: the two shares minus 100% is how many people must belong to both groups. The separate series do not give the exact share. Overcrowding counts rooms against household composition, not floor area.
