According to the Domain website, research shows that if the outer suburbs of some big cities in Australia live in the center of the sub-developed areas, the economic situation will actually be better. A new Regional Australia Institute report released on Wednesday showed that if urban residents move to a sub-developed town, their income will be slightly reduced, but their commuting distance can be halved and mortgages can be significantly reduced. Kim Houghton, the agency’s co-chief executive, said the ratio between house prices and average income is a good measure of the people who are moving. “Many homeowners in capital cities pay twice as much as homeowners in sub-developed areas, but the average income is similar.”
The report shows that the situation in Melbourne is similar. The income of the suburban wage earners is 75,067 yuan, while that of the sub-developed centers is 59,396 yuan. Moving to the country can save half of the cost of housing. House prices in Melbourne’s outskirts are 776,276 yuan, while those in sub-developed cities are 344,365 yuan. The commute distance was also slightly reduced by 1.3 km. Houghton said: “If you pay too much money for the mortgage and spend too much time on commuting, then it is time to consider moving out.” He added that many Sydney people have moved to the next developed cities in Australia. “If you look at the flow of Australians, you will find that we have already seen this moving trend.”
Demographer Simon Kuestenmacher also said that many capital cities have already passed the turning point. “There is no doubt that people can live a better life in these sub-developed cities, their income may be reduced, but housing costs will be cheaper and commuting time will be reduced. They will have more in the next developed cities.” The time of life.” But Kuestenmacher also pointed out that the main problem that encourages population growth in sub-developed areas is the growth of jobs. These sub-developed towns are already facing a labor shortage. “It’s hard for us to get new jobs there. The labor pool here is smaller than Sydney or Melbourne. For small businesses, moving to a sub-developed city is a gamble.”
Houghton said that the livability of sub-developed cities also needs to meet people’s expectations, including education, health and cultural diversity. But in fact, many developed cities have done a good job in these areas, but people’s perceptions often have problems. “We are now trapped in people’s negative impressions of Australia’s sub-developed regions. Many people believe that Australia’s sub-developed regions are now in recession. Of course, some areas are in a difficult situation because of drought. But others have not been very Large areas of influence, and there are still many jobs in these areas.” The average income of residents in the sub-developed areas was 68,723 yuan. The price of the suburbs is 524,895 yuan, and the price of the sub-developed areas is 378,319 yuan. The average commute distance will also be reduced by 1.8 kilometers.
In addition, research has been conducted to investigate the housing needs of the elderly. The Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute surveyed 2,400 Australian seniors and found that the three-bedroom house in the outskirts of the capital city or Central is the most common type of housing for Australians over the age of 55. The population of the second-developed towns is usually between 55 and 74, and those over the age of 75 are more likely to favor the inner city. According to the agency, there are currently too many apartments and large independent houses in Australia. There are not enough houses in medium-sized houses to meet the needs of the elderly.
