The Tasmania Project - Housing Survey

The Tasmania Project was established by the Institute for Social Change at the University of Tasmania to understand how Tasmanians are experiencing and adjusting to the social, political and economic responses to COVID-19. The project aims to support immediate and longer term social and economic decisions by providing useful, evidence-based and timely information, and share Tasmanian residents' experiences and ideas through this critical period and beyond.

This dataset is for the Housing Survey, which was open from 23 June - 2 July 2020 and had a final sample size of 821 respondents. The survey consisted of four sections: 1. Living arrangements and housing circumstances, 2. Appropriateness of housing, 3. Property as a source of income, 4. Demographic information.

For this survey, we partnered with the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) to generate data on regional housing and household experiences arising from the pandemic to manage the emerging housing needs of the community and support recovery.
