Dwelling Structure shows the split between detached dwellings and medium or high density dwellings. This page only covers private dwellings.

The figures come from Census data collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

From the jump-off year on, Dwelling Structure Rates are carried forward and applied to private dwellings each year. The result is a split into detached and medium or high density.

Census markers such as housing loan repayments use the ABS's finer groups instead: separate house; semi-detached, row or terrace house, townhouse; flat or apartment; other dwelling; and not stated.
