Housing & Dwellings in Herne Hill
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Almost 38% of households in Herne Hill are renting, a figure that is well above both the state and national averages. This high level of renting is a standout feature for the area, where a smaller proportion of people own their homes outright compared to most other places. This creates a housing landscape that differs significantly from the typical Victorian suburb.
