In 2021, Vietnamese speakers were most commonly found in dwellings with 3 bedrooms in City of Canterbury Bankstown.

The Number of Bedrooms in a dwelling is an indicator of the size of dwellings, and when combined with Dwelling Type information, provides insight into the role City of Canterbury Bankstown plays in the housing market for non-English speaking populations.

For example, where non-English speaking populations are mainly students, one bedroom and bedsitters may be dominant. Upgrader areas housing families could have larger separate dwellings, while smaller units may be common for downsizers among older migrant communities.

To the extent that there may be a mismatch between bedrooms and Household Size, this topic can also look at the potential for overcrowding in particular communities, or the availability of extra bedrooms.

Q:

Derived from the Census question:
