Named the place of the Chelyabinsk region in the rating on the availability of mortgages

A rating of Russian regions on the availability of mortgage lending for the population is compiled. Chelyabinsk region entered it in the top 20.

The rating was compiled by RIA Novosti analysts, based on the situation for eight months of 2026. During this period, almost 577 thousand mortgage loans were issued in Russia as a whole (plus 40% compared to the same period in 2025). The figure has also grown in monetary terms – this year 2.6 trillion rubles have already been issued against 1.9 trillion in the eight months of the last.

The rating is compiled taking into account what proportion of families with an official salary of one or two workers can afford to buy an ordinary two-bedroom apartment, taking a mortgage on market terms. In general, as of August 2026, 20.2% of Russian families can afford this.

The Chelyabinsk region occupies 14th place in the rating. The share of families in the South Ural region who can buy an apartment in a mortgage at a market interest rate is 27.3%. The average monthly mortgage payment paid by Chelyabinsk residents is 59.8 thousand rubles.

Other regions of the Ural Federal District were distributed according to the list as follows: Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug – 1st place in Russia (share – 55.7%); Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – 2nd place (52.5%); Sverdlovsk region – 21 places (25.4%); Tyumen region – 26th place (23.3%); Kurgan region - 33rd place (21.6%).
