“…But at the lower priced end of the housing market, the private sector is demonstrating many signs of market failure. These include an absolute shortage of lower cost rental stock (Wulff, Reynolds, Dharmalingam, Hulse & Yates 2011), the inability to increase supply consistent with household growth (National Housing Supply Council 2012), high housing cost stress (Burke, Stone & Ralston 2011;Yates & Milligan 2007), and the emergence of a marginal housing sector of households forced to live in boarding houses, caravans and other housing inadequate for stable and secure living arrangements (Goodman et al 2013). These failings are partially a function of public housing's residulisation as a sector disconnected from the wider housing system, with the private sector unable to meet demand.…”

This paper uses the release of the 2011 Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) census results and other recent and historical data sets to explore how Australian public housing has changed over the period 1981-2011. It summarises the contextual factors that have influenced housing provision and consumption in Australia over the past thirty years. The overall supply trends by tenure for Australia and each capital city are set out, followed by analysis of the demographics of public housing tenants, including age, household type, income, mobility, and workforce participation. Issues identified in the paper include insufficient stock and increasingly targeted households, representing a social and financial problem for housing agencies. The current stock is ill-adapted to tenants' needs; if housing agencies re-profile the housing to meet such needs, then they risk creating inflexible stock. The paper concludes with reflection on the future of public housing in Australia.
