Have wages kept up with rents?

Compare Statistics Iceland's nominal wage index and the HMS market-rent index using complete annual averages and the first shared year as 100.

How to read this comparison

Different worker and rental-market populations mean this is relative index growth, not an individual household's rent burden. Rent coverage begins in 2023; partial years and missing observations do not become full-year averages.

  2. Check coverage, units and the base period. Choose Table for all observations.
