Leader in Europe is Ireland with an income of 7.08%. Malta is second with 6.64% and Portugal with 6.43% is third.
The top 10 is complemented by the Netherlands, Slovakia, Belgium, Turkey, Cyprus and Hungary.
At the bottom of the list is Sweden with an average rental income of 3.03%. Croatia and France are just ahead of it with 3.82%.
