Housing & Dwellings in Willowbank
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
A dramatic shift in ownership has seen Willowbank transform from a rental hub into a place of homeowners since 2011. While the number of households renting fell by 37 percentage points over a decade, those owning their homes outright jumped from 7% to 33.3%. This change has created a local housing market where home ownership is now the dominant trend.
