Housing & Dwellings in Dubbo
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Separate houses make up 82.3% of all homes in Dubbo, which is well above the national figure of 72.3%. This preference for larger dwellings is matched by housing costs that remain well below those in New South Wales. Most people live in spacious homes, though a higher-than-usual share of the population rents their property.
