Dwelling composition forecasts
Australia’s housing industry has seen a significant change in the mix of dwelling types throughout the country, based on shifting demographics and the economic climate.
Our extensive suite of housing starts history and forecasts by distinct dwelling types is designed to assist residential building businesses to plan for the future. These dwelling types are based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ ‘functional classification of buildings’:
These classifications encompass:
- detached houses
- semi-detached, row or terrace house, townhouse or duplex with one storey
- semi-detached, row or terrace house, townhouse or duplex with two or more storeys
- flat, unit or apartment in a building of one or two storeys
- flat, unit or apartment in a building of three storeys
- flat, unit or apartment in a building of four or more storeys
- dwellings excluding new residential (typically called conversions).
