Housing & Dwellings in Whitby
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
A massive shift towards large family homes has seen Whitby become almost exclusively made up of detached houses. It is now an area where nearly every household owns their home with a mortgage, with 80.3% of residents paying off their property. This trend has created a suburb dominated by large-scale housing and high mortgage commitments.
