# Housing & Dwellings — Canada Bay

Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.

Area: Canada Bay (Suburb / Locality)

Costs for housing in Canada Bay have climbed significantly since 2011, with typical monthly mortgage payments now reaching $3,033. This is an expensive area where both renting and buying are far costlier than the national figures. A mix of high costs and a shift toward smaller homes defines the local market.

Weekly rent is well above the national figure at $550, and typical monthly mortgage payments are far above Australia's $1,863. Over half of households with a mortgage pay $3,000 or more each month.

Separate houses make up 59.9% of homes, which is far below the national figure of 72.3%. With fewer large homes, people per bedroom is a little above the Australian average at 0.90.

About 32.8% of households rent, which is much higher than most areas. While 34.5% of homes are owned outright, this is well above the New South Wales figure of 31.5%.
