Housing & Dwellings in West End
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Much lower housing costs than the state and national figures define West End (Townsville - Qld). It is a predominantly rental area where over half of all households rent their homes. This shift away from home ownership is reflected in the low number of residents who own their homes outright.
