In the period of eleven months of 2015 there were more dwellings completed than the year before. The number of dwellings for which permits have been granted or which have been registered with a construction project and the number of dwellings in which construction has begun also increased.

For many years the Central Statistical Office has published a wide range of information allowing for the in-depth analysis of particular quality of life aspects. In this publication, we present a set of core indicators that enable the assessment of important areas of quality of life.
