Housing & Dwellings in Fraser
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Renting is much more common in Fraser than in most other areas. While 38% of households rent, the area has a lower share of outright home ownership than both the state and national figures. This mix of tenure shapes a housing market where rents are generally lower than in many other parts of the country.
