Abstract: We compare survey and administrative data on housing wealth in Italy. While property ownership is broadly consistent, discrepancies emerge in the distribution due to secondary dwellings being omitted in surveys and to missing properties in administrative data, mainly due to the failure to register ownership transfers of inherited properties. To address this issue, we propose two integration approaches which lead to a more complete representation of the housing wealth distribution.
