Description

This dataset provides average national-level current gross replacement costs of the stock of residential assets (buildings and household contents) per m2 of useful floor space. The dataset includes annual time series (2000–2024) for 33 European countries, in nominal and real prices. It is intended for application in microscale disaster models by enabling approximation of the monetary value of individual buildings exposed to hazards, especially floods, for which damage functions often distinguish between vulnerability of the building structure and contents inside.

Notes

The dataset is a second revision and update of the dataset originally described in Paprotny et al. (2020). This update was possible through European Research Council project “Flood Adaptation under Climate Change with the European Socio-Hydrological Model” (EuroSoHo) supported by the European Union’s Horizon research and innovation programme, no. 101218797.
