The Housing Yearbook for Latin America and the Caribbean 2025 presents a unique comparative database for 15 countries, integrating 261 variables on housing markets, financing, land, informality, and affordability. It shows a region with incipient macroeconomic stability but marked by high labor and housing informality, persistent qualitative deficits, and growing difficulties in accessing formal housing. The publication highlights the low depth of mortgage credit, subsidies with limited targeting, a shortage of well-located land, and sustainability challenges, while emphasizing the urgency of more inclusive financial instruments, better urban land management, and policies that integrate quality, location, and resilience. The central issue—housing informality—reveals structural failures in regulation, access to land, and financing, and points toward comprehensive urban solutions based on evidence and regional cooperation.
