6.8.4. Home ownership-fully owned
At the 2011 Census, rates of homeownership in Western Adelaide were very similar to rates across
Greater Adelaide, with approxiamtley 32% of dwellings being owned outright. Within the region, West
Torrens contains the highest concentration of dwellings that are fully owned (35%), while Port Adelaide
Enfield contains the smallest proportion (26%). The trend across all jurisdictions is a decline in the
proportion of homes being fully owned by their occupier.
Households who own their own home are often more able to renovate or modify their dwellings to better
withstand flood or heat events than those in less secure rental tenure.
