Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Housing patterns in Tablelands (NT) have remained steady over the last decade, though the area is marked by a high number of unconventional tenure types. Most of the 64.6% of homes that are separate houses are owned in ways other than traditional mortgages. These dwelling trends differ sharply from national patterns, especially in how homes are owned and the size of the houses.
