Ipswich's Welfare Woes: A Ranking of Suburbs with Prolonged Dependency
The total number of people who have been receiving JobSeeker or Youth Allowance for more than 180 days.
The data on people receiving welfare longer than 6 months can be useful for property investors and those looking to move as it provides insights into the livability of different suburbs. For instance, suburbs with a high percentage of people receiving welfare for an extended period may indicate a lack of job opportunities or affordable housing, which could affect property values and rental demand. On the other hand, suburbs with low welfare rates may suggest a more prosperous and stable community, which could be attractive to homebuyers and renters. Additionally, this data could be useful for policymakers and community organizations to identify areas that need more support and resources to address poverty and inequality. Overall, understanding the welfare rates in different suburbs can provide valuable information for making informed decisions about where to live or invest.
