The real cost of housing Of 15 OECD countries compared in the study,
Australia had the highest prices relative to rental levels, the third-highest prices relative to incomes, and the fourth-highest levels of household debt relative to incomes.
Making it worse, demand for affordable housing had risen at the same time as the public housing stock in Australia dropped from 372,000 in 1995-96 to 345,000 in June 2004.
Average household debt has skyrocketed as a proportion of household disposable income. From 49 per cent of income in 1990-91, the debt ratio trebled to 143 per cent in 2004.
--OECD 2005 report on housing
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare said 1.7 million people were in "housing stress" in 2004, spending more than 30 per cent of their income on accommodation.
