Housing & Dwellings in Phillip
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Nearly half of all households in Phillip are renting, which is far above the national and territory figures. This makes the area a major hub for renters, though it is dominated by small apartments and townhouses rather than houses. These housing patterns are reflected in the high number of people sharing bedrooms compared to other areas.
