Births, deaths and moves are STATEC's, from the national register of natural persons. A commune's migration counts moves from and to other communes as well as abroad; the country's counts moves abroad only. Homes finished are dwellings in completed buildings, counted for the country only and published about three years late; cantons use homes granted a permit. A home houses a household, not a person: two or three new residents per new home is roughly one home per new household.

At the average sale price of existing apartments, a 90 m² home costs €699,612. With 10% down and a 30-year mortgage, the payment is €2,859 a month. Luxembourg sets no cap on the payment; the CSSF caps the loan at 100% of the home's value for first-time buyers who will live in it, 90% for other owner-occupiers and 80% for other buyers.

Owning a 90 m² apartment costs less each month than renting it. Owning counts interest, running costs and the return the deposit could earn, at the mean price existing apartments sold for; rent is the asking rent. Repaying the loan is saving, so it is left out.
