Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Almost 70% of households rent in Liverpool - East, a figure far above the New South Wales and national averages. This high proportion of renters is matched by a housing stock dominated by small apartments rather than houses. Most people live in flats, contributing to a crowded environment where homes often hold more people per bedroom than typical Australian households.
