The read

Owner-occupier stronghold

90% of homes here are owner-occupied and 8% rented, with 8% of landlords negatively geared.

Why it fits

90% owner-occupied — owner-occupiers hold longer and absorb rate shocks, supporting price stability.

ABS Census 2021 tenure (G37), ATO postcode rental statistics, and QuickProperty's investor-exposure index. Owner-occupied = owned outright + with a mortgage.
