Mortgage & rent

Proportions are calculated using all tenure types for occupied private dwellings. This excludes visitor only and other non-classifiable households.

Rent weekly payments Kulin West % Kulin West Western Australia % Western Australia Australia % Australia
Median rent 60 -- 300 -- 285 --

Households where rent payments are 30%, or greater, of household income -- 2.8 -- 8.9 -- 10.4
