In addition, 499 have been detected in Tafalla, 202 in Erriberri and 29 in Caparroso. * This process begun in these localities will culminate in the preparation of a census of empty houses in Navarre, highlighting that **the regional government considers that a house is not inhabited "when it is not effectively destined for residential use for more than six consecutive months in the course of a year from the last day of effective room".** * **Keywords**: Navarra, Spain, empty homes, rental market, public housing, census
