ABS 2021 Census of Population and Housing, tenure of occupied private dwellings, Balga (SAL). These are all homes in the suburb, not Doorstep members.
Couples, parents, kids and grandparents: in Balga, 62 in every 100 households are families. School runs and hand-me-downs for some, grandkids visiting for others, and the most useful neighbour is often the one who's been through it a year ahead of you.
49 in every 100 homes in Balga are owner-occupied, below 69 across Western Australia, so the owners on your street are harder to pick out. Doorstep is made for exactly them.
