New South Wales (NSW) has been identified as having the most challenging suburbs for renters, with 12 suburbs scoring a perfect 100 on the recent Rental Pain Score Index. The index highlights the significant struggles faced by renters across Australia, with high rental costs and low vacancy rates contributing to a persistent housing crisis.
New South Wales has taken the top spot as the state with the worst suburbs for renters, according to new data. NSW recorded a whopping 12 suburbs rated 100-out-of-100 on the recent Rental Pain Score Index, compiled by market research brand SuburbTrends. Queensland was not far off with 10 suburbs. South Australia had six, Western Australia had four, Victoria had two, and Tasmania just one suburb.
“Even in areas where price hikes have eased, many renters continue to face severe affordability issues, with rent consuming well over 30 per cent of household income. This is especially true across numerous local government areas , where vacancy rates remain critically low, exacerbating competition for already scarce rental properties.
