Housing rental payments

About this topic

Housing rental payments show the weekly rent reported by households that rent their dwelling. It is a direct measure of current housing cost for renters and is not affected by home equity or mortgage history.

This topic is useful for understanding rental affordability and potential housing stress, especially when read with household income and tenure. Raw rental amounts are not directly comparable over time because of inflation, so rental quartiles are better for comparing change.

Interpretation notes

  • This topic applies only to households that rent their dwelling and records weekly rent for the dwelling counted on Census night.
  • Raw rent ranges are not directly comparable over time because inflation and market conditions change.
