Housing & Dwellings in Mid North Coast
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Nearly half of all homes in the Mid North Coast are owned outright, which is far above the national figure. This creates a housing market where ownership is common and costs are generally lower than in other parts of the state. Most people live in detached houses, though the region has seen a steady increase in rent and mortgage payments over the last decade.
