Kybong · Suburb / Locality
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
A strong shift towards home ownership marks the recent history of Kybong, where over half of all homes are now owned outright. This trend has created a housing market that is far less reliant on renting than the rest of the state. The area is now defined by a high proportion of debt-free households and a unique mix of dwelling types.
