WHAT'S NEW THIS MONTH

Topics which have been updated with new data in this month's issue of SA Stats include: Construction; Consumption; Housing Finance; International Merchandise Trade; Labour Force; and Water.

This month's SA Stats includes an article which looks at the cost of building a house in Adelaide. Home ownership remains part of the great Australian dream but rising property prices are perceived as one of the main components making that dream harder to realise. Data from the ABS publications House Price Index: Eight Capital Cities (cat. no. 6416.0) and Building Activity Australia (cat. no. 8752.0) is analysed to assess the changes in the cost of building a house in Adelaide.
