Dwelling and household estimates: March 2020 quarter

National dwelling and household estimates are used for many purposes including planning, policy formation, business decisions, and as ‘bottom lines’ in the calculation of market coverage rates.

Key facts

  • Private dwellings estimate: 1,919,800 (at 31 March 2020).
  • Households estimate: 1,787,900 (at 31 March 2020).

The private dwelling estimates are based on the 2018 Census of Population and Dwellings while household estimates remain on a 2013-base. These household estimates will be rebased and revised after the 2018-base estimated resident population is published.
