Doncaster (inc. Doncaster Hill)

Housing rental payments

In Doncaster (inc. Doncaster Hill), 38.4% of renting households were paying more than $400 per week in rent.

Rental payments can be a better measure of the cost of housing in Doncaster (inc. Doncaster Hill) than mortgage repayments because they are not contingent on length of occupancy or equity in the dwelling.

High rental payments may indicate desirable areas with mobile populations who prefer to rent, or a housing shortage, or gentrification. Low rental payments may indicate public housing (check Tenure Type), or areas where low income households move by necessity for a lower cost of living.

Rental payments are not directly comparable over time because of inflation. For comparison of rental payments over time, go to Housing Rental Quartiles.

Derived from the Census questions:

'How much does your household pay for this dwelling?' and 'Is this dwelling [owned outright, owned with a mortgage etc.]'
