How Small Are Hong Kong's Subdivided Flats?

Hong Kong's subdivided flats are ordinary apartments split into several separately rented homes. Their median area was only 11 square metres in 2021, but their size is just one part of a wider story involving high housing costs, demand for well-located rentals, public housing, safety, and a new regulatory system that began in 2026.

香港劏房是把普通住宅分隔成多个单位后分别出租的住房。2021年，其居所面积中位数只有11平方米，但狭小只是问题的一部分，背后还涉及高昂的住房成本、对便利地点出租房的需求、公营房屋供应、安全隐患，以及2026年开始实施的新规管制度。
