The desire to age in place among older Australians

Many older Australians report a desire to age in place. This AIHW bulletin explores the relationship between this desire and the housing circumstances of older Australians of different tenure types; that is, those who own their home outright, those paying a mortgage and those who rent their home either privately or through social housing.

The bulletin is in two parts: Volume 1 explores how often households move and attitudes towards moving or staying; Volume 2 focuses on the financial circumstances of older Australians in relation to housing and wellbeing. Volume 2 is expected to be released late in 2013.
