Housing & Dwellings in Blackwood
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
More than eight in ten homes in Blackwood have three or more bedrooms, and this preference for larger houses has grown since 2011. The area is dominated by detached housing, with a very high proportion of residents owning their homes outright. This makes it a stable residential pocket where few people rent compared to the rest of the state.
