Abstract
The number of Australians who couldn’t pay their mortgage or rent on time increased between April and May this year, with the level of housing stress substantially higher for renters than mortgage holders, new data shows.
Findings described in a report from the Australian National University paint a “disturbing picture” for renters and young adults when it comes to housing stress.
