Many dwellings standing empty on Census night

The unoccupied share sets Batemans Bay apart: 24% of private dwellings were empty on Census night, above the 9% across NSW. The Census counts only that one night, so the figure says how many homes had nobody in them then, not why. Among the homes that were occupied, separate houses lead.

Separate houses make up 71% of occupied homes, above the 66% across NSW. Flats or apartments account for 14%, below the 22% across NSW, and townhouses, terraces and semi-detached houses for 13%, above the 12% across NSW. Three bedrooms is the common size, at 43% of homes against 35% across NSW, with 30% holding four or more bedrooms (34% across NSW) and 25% holding two bedrooms or fewer (30% across NSW).

New South Wales, the same way: 66 houses, 22 flats, 33 rented. Other or not stated also takes up the rounding.
