Housing consumption
While there is little qualitative data on housing preference, Census data enables detailed analysis of dwelling consumption by household type - that is, the types of dwellings different household types are residing in. It is important to understand from a housing context, as it reveals the area's residential role and function, era of settlement and provides key insights into the level of demand for various housing types, especially when coupled with household type forecast data.
