People can secure appropriate, affordable housing that is aligned with their priorities and need
Outcome
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people secure appropriate, affordable housing that is aligned with their priorities and need.
Target
By 2031, increase the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in appropriately sized (not overcrowded) housing to 88 per cent.
Summary on Target
| Target: | By 2031, increase the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in appropriately sized (not overcrowded) housing to 88 per cent. |
|---|---|
| Domain: | Housing |
| Outcome: | Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people secure appropriate, affordable housing that is aligned with their priorities and need. |
| Numerator: | Number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in dwellings that do not require any additional bedrooms, using criteria based on the Canadian National Occupancy Standard. |
| Denominator: | Total number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. |
| Computation: | 100 x (numerator ÷ denominator)
|
| Data source: | ABS Census of Population and Housing |
| Notes: | Data also available from ABS Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Survey and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey. These data can be used as supplementary data source to monitor progress, particularly in intercensal years. |

Baseline data
Baseline data for the target measure is presented below at a national level, and for each state and territory where available. This will show starting points for each target, by jurisdiction.

Notes
- This table shows the proportion of persons living in appropriately sized (not overcrowded) dwellings. Appropriately sized dwellings are those where no extra bedrooms are required to adequately house the usual residents. This is based on the Canadian National Occupancy Standard. Denominator excludes dwellings with Housing Suitability not stated or unable to be determined.
- Geographical variables in this table are based on a person's Place of Usual Residence. Persons who were not enumerated at their place of usual residence have been excluded from this data.
- This table excludes overseas visitors.
- Cells in this table have been randomly adjusted to avoid the release of confidential data. No reliance should be placed on small cells.
- Includes Other Territories
National Target Trajectory
The national target trajectories presented below reflect the possible rate of progress over the next decade to achieve the target. In practice, the rate of progress is unlikely to be the same from year to year.
The target trajectory can be compared with the two related trajectories: the projected rates of progress for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians based on the assumption the historic rate of change will continue into the future.

- Based on a linear regression of historical data. As such, the projection captures drivers of historical growth rates such as population growth or government funding. Doing projections in this manner assumes that the drivers of growth will not vary greatly into the future.
