Housing & Dwellings in Clare
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Well below the national figures for both rent and mortgages, Clare offers a more affordable housing market than most of Australia. This local affordability is paired with a high number of large, detached family homes. Most residents live in separate houses, and the area has seen a steady increase in the number of people who own their homes outright.
