Overseas born - Number of bedrooms per dwelling
In 2021, people [Toggles].[COIIDDisplayLabel] were most commonly found in dwellings with 4 bedrooms in City of Manningham.
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 Manningham plays in the housing market for overseas-born populations.

Derived from the Census question:
'How many bedrooms are there in this dwelling?'
