City of Knox

Dwelling type

reset

In the City of Knox 14.1% of people born overseas were in medium or high density dwellings.

Dwelling Type is an important determinant of the City of Knox's residential role and function. A greater concentration of higher density dwellings may attract young people and more residents born in particular countries where high density housing is more prevalent.

For overseas-born populations, this topic can look at the differences in the type of housing occupied by different communities within your area. High density housing may provide affordable rental or home ownership opportunities to new migrants, or a particular older community may have lived in an area long term, but changing housing stock could create issues for this community.

Dwelling Type statistics are closely related to the Age Structure and Household Types of the overseas-born communities in City of Knox, and should be looked at in conjunction with these topics.
