Abstract
Reviewing Australian conventional wisdom that the private rental sector is the most deprived tenure, this paper considers the issue of affordability (housing costs proportional to income). It reviews recent policies and trends in housing costs. New data indicate that over one-fifth of income units spend over 20 per cent of income on accommodation, with private tenants still relatively worst off.Keywords
