City of Casey

Household type

In the City of Casey, 63.2% males were in couples with children households.

The City of Casey's household and family structure is one of the most important demographic indicators.

Household type is mainly a function of the type of people who live in an area – some areas, such as new housing growth areas, cater more to families, while some have young students, group households or retirees.

The extent to which household type varies by sex is relatively small. Typically, older lone persons are more likely to be female due to longer life expectancy. One-parent families nationwide are approximately 80% female parents, so areas with many one-parent families are likely to show fewer females in couple and other household types proportionally.

To get a clearer picture of the demographics of sexes in the region, Household Type data should be viewed in conjunction with Age Structure.
