Andorra had 41,336 households on 30 September 2026, according to estimates from the Statistics Department. Compared with the 90,122 residents recorded on the same date, that equals an average of 2.18 people per household. The figure is down 0.2% from the previous quarter and 0.8% from the same period in 2025, when it stood at 2.20.

Compared with the previous quarter, the number of households rose by 2% in La Massana and 1.8% in Canillo. It also increased in the other parishes, except Sant Julià de Lòria, where it fell by 0.2%.

Statistics attributes some of the decline to the standardisation of census addresses. Year on year, La Massana recorded the largest increase, at 5.8%. Canillo was the only parish where the number of households fell, by 3%, a decrease also largely explained by the address review.

Sant Julià de Lòria has the highest average, at 2.49 people per household, followed by Ordino at 2.40 and Escaldes-Engordany at 2.29. The average is 2.18 in Andorra la Vella, 2.13 in La Massana and 2.07 in Encamp. Canillo has the lowest figure, at 1.77 people per household.

Compared with the previous quarter, Ordino was the only parish where the average household size increased, by 0.1%. La Massana recorded the steepest fall, at 0.7%. 

Year on year, Canillo had the largest increase in average household size, at 7.1%, while La Massana saw the biggest decrease, at 3.4%. The figures point to a general trend towards smaller households, although there are differences between parishes.
