Coverage rate of affordable housing in 2009=(completed area of affordable housing 1999–2009)/(completed housing area 1999–2009) × 100%. At the end of 2008, more than 18 million households in the country lived in better conditions thanks to affordable housing, of which more than 5 million households were low-income families. This means that the coverage rate of affordable housing partially reflects the strong efforts of the government have been made in housing security for low- and middle-income residents.
