Logan's Top Suburbs for Disability Support Pension Recipients: A Closer Look at Community Support for Those with Disabilities
The proportion of people (aged 16 and over) who receive the Disability Support pension, which is a means-tested income support payment for people who are aged 16 and over but under Age Pension age (at claim) and who have reduced capacity to work because of their disability.
For property investors and those looking to move, the proportion of Disability Support pension recipients in a suburb can provide valuable insights into the livability of the area. A higher proportion of recipients may indicate a greater need for disability-friendly infrastructure and services, such as accessible public transport and healthcare facilities. This can be particularly important for those with disabilities or caring for someone with a disability. Additionally, a higher proportion of recipients may also indicate a greater sense of community and support for those with disabilities. This can contribute to a more inclusive and welcoming neighborhood, which can be attractive to those seeking a supportive and inclusive environment.
