Rental Stress in New England

I was disturbed but not surprised to learn that the top three, and four of the top ten, electorates in NSW suffering rental stress were in New England. Rental stress is defined as paying more than 30 per cent of gross income in rentals.

The top ten expressed as a proportion of the population suffering rental stress are:

  • Richmond 57.5%
  • Cowper 51.5%
  • Lyne 50%
  • Blaxland 48.7%
  • Watson 47.6%
  • Gilmore 47.1%
  • Dobell 46.9%
  • Fowler 46.6%
  • Shortland 46%
  • Robertson 44.4%
