ABSTRACT
The various empirical results from the model have been discussed in the earlier chapter. Essentially, those discussions were fully based on the statistical local area (SLA)-level housing stress estimates throughout Australia. However, it is natural that most of the SLAs located in the major city areas are relatively smaller in geographic size but typically compacted with vast numbers of households and/or populations. Also, major capital city areas are usually considered as the places where issues of housing stress are more acute. The characteristics of different cities (as well as various regions within a city) also vary with many factors including the geographic location, population size, socioeconomic conditions, governances, and social welfares. Taking an Australia-wide view, it is unlikely to clarify the actual scenarios of housing stress for all small areas situated within the major cities. Therefore, zooming in to view different capital cities, a specific close look on the model estimates of housing stress is needed.
