Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
A huge gap exists between the costs of housing in postcode 2034 and the rest of the country, with typical rents and mortgages far exceeding national figures. This high-cost environment is paired with a very high proportion of renters and a landscape dominated by apartments. It is an area where few people own their homes outright compared to other parts of Australia.
