Exclusive: One in five renters are among 1 million living in poverty, according to New South Wales Council of Social Services
Poverty was highly concentrated in Sydney’s west and south-west suburbs, with far lower rates towards the coast and the northern suburbs. When comparing the suburbs with the highest and lowest rates of poverty, there is an almost 30% difference.
The state-wide poverty rate was 13.4%, and in greater Sydney it was 13.2%. But some parts of Bankstown, Liverpool and Fairfield, in Sydney’s south and west, have poverty rates above 25% – the highest in the state. Quilty said the lack of social and affordable housing was causing issues across all areas and all demographics.
