Rental Affordability Index by Local Government Area, within and outside the Murray–Darling Basin.
This data is derived by SGS Economics & Planning (SGS) as a way to measure a renting household's ability to afford median rent in a region. The household income is sourced from Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Census and average earnings data. The median rent is sourced from the State rental bond authorities. Households paying 30% of income on rent have a Rental Affordability Index score of 100, indicating these households are at the critical threshold level for housing stress. A score of less than 100 indicates that the households spend 30% or more of their income on rent, hence experiencing rental stress. Scores of more than 100 indicators that the households are not under rental stress.
