City of Coffs Harbour

Number of bedrooms per dwelling

In 2021, people aged 25 to 34 years were most commonly found in dwellings with 3 bedrooms in City of Coffs Harbour.

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 Coffs Harbour plays in the housing market for different age groups.

For example, where people aged 18 to 24 are in the workforce, 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.
