The analysis of Costa Rica’s housing stock reveals a consolidation of owner-occupied housing, driven by self-construction and improvements in conditions previously characterized by precariousness. This trend suggests a stabilization in access to homeownership, although a significant proportion of the population remains in rental housing, and a persistent quantitative deficit continues to require attention. The relevance of this study for *open data* lies in the transparency of socioeconomic indicators. By making detailed figures on tenure, location, and transitions between categories publicly available, it facilitates public scrutiny and independent research. This enables civil society and institutions to assess the effectiveness of housing policies. The availability of data disaggregated by region is crucial for identifying territorial inequalities and designing more precise and equitable solutions in the housing sector.
