Demographic Concept
A detached dwelling is a house that stands on its own. It does not share a wall, roof, or floor with another dwelling. The ABS also calls this a “separate house” in the Census.
Detached dwellings are the most common type of private dwelling in Australia. Their share of all dwellings varies by area. Inner-city councils tend to have fewer, while outer suburbs and regional areas have more.

How Place Forecast Uses This
Place Forecast shows the split between detached and medium or high density dwellings on the Dwelling Structure page. Dwelling Structure Rates are carried forward from the jump-off year to project how many private dwellings will be detached each year.
