Melbourne's Struggle with Child Welfare: A Ranking of Suburbs by Dependency Rates
The proportion of children in families who are low-income and financially dependent upon welfare payment.The percentage of children in welfare dependant families can be a useful indicator for property investors and those looking to move to a new suburb. This data can provide insights into the livability of a suburb, as it reflects the socio-economic status of the community. For example, a high percentage of children in welfare dependant families may indicate a lack of job opportunities or affordable housing in the area. This could impact the desirability of the suburb for potential residents and affect property values. On the other hand, a low percentage of children in welfare dependant families may suggest a more affluent community with better access to resources and amenities. This could make the suburb more attractive to investors and homebuyers. Overall, this data can provide valuable information for those looking to make informed decisions about where to live or invest.
