HOUSING OCCUPANCY AND COSTS


For most Australians, whether owning or renting their home, the provision of housing for themselves and their families involves substantial expenditure throughout most of their lives. Housing costs are often the largest regular expense to be met from a household’s current income.

The regular housing costs reported in this publication cover housing-related mortgage payments, rates payments (general and water) and rent payments.
