Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people secure appropriate, affordable housing that is aligned with their priorities and need
Target 9: By 2031, increase the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in appropriately sized (not overcrowded) housing to 88 per cent.
Indicators:
Drivers:
- Change in population by location
- Change in social housing dwellings by location
Contextual information:
- Home ownership rate (including by location and tenure type)
- Homelessness rate including by type (e.g. Transitional housing/sleeping rough) and age group
- Structural problems including functional health hardware Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) measure of acceptable standard of housing)
- Low income household experiencing rental stress/mortgage stress
- Social housing dwellings per 100 households by location
- Progress towards parity
Disaggregation:
- States/territories
- Remoteness areas
- Other small geographic areas (where possible)
- Socio-economic status of the locality
- Disability status
- Gender
- Age group
- Overcrowding status (1, 2, 3, 4 or more additional bedrooms required)
- Tenure type
Data Development:
Explore options to measure and report:
- levels of overcrowding specific to Australian conditions
- proximity to services (in addition to the ABS’ current remoteness structure reporting)
- affordable living (including cost of electricity, transport costs, etc.)
- environmental health outcomes (e.g. rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease)
- environmental health activities (e.g. programs, services and partnerships)
- family and kin obligations that lead to overcrowding (temporary or permanent)
- social housing, including:
- transfers from social housing to private rental and/or home ownership
- satisfaction of social housing tenants with amenities, location, and maintenance services
- social housing dwellings as a proportion of all dwellings
