The Living in Australia 2024: National Community Views Survey - Key Insights Report (DOWNLOAD HERE) draws on the views of the more than 5,000 people who participated in .id’s annual Living in Australia Community Views Survey collected across April and May 2024, and speaks to four themes we feel are critical to improving living standards across the Nation.
The survey captures views on a range of topics critical to informing government policy, including community safety, affordable decent housing, health and well-being, climate change and sustainability, as well as views on local area financial circumstances, economics, transport and social infrastructure (insights and data available on the views.id reporting and exploratory platform).
This annually updated, nationally representative survey provides national, state, regional, and metropolitan spatial benchmarking data for councils and other organisations that subscribe to the Community Views Service.
Australia’s Overall Liveability in 2024 was 63.4 out of a possible 100.
The Index is created by combining residents’ values – what they believe contributes most towards making somewhere a good place to live with how they experience those attributes where they live. While residents from Metropolitan Areas on the whole – reported that their local areas were more liveable than Regional Areas, the reality is a lot more nuanced of course.
For example, and as referenced in the image above, residents from The ACT (65.6) cited a significantly higher Overall Liveability Index than those who make a home in Darwin (58.5), while Western Victorians (66.4) reported their local area as more liveable in comparison to Far North Queenslanders (60.3).
While these liveability indices are interesting, and helpful over the longer term to monitor whether and where quality of life is changing, they are not at all instructive.
Living in Australia: 2024 speaks to four themes we feel are critical to improving living standards across the Nation, Affordable decent housing, Feeling safe, Economics and cost of living, Environment and climate change. They are also themes we see present across local, state and federal government strategic documents, and we are proud to share what we’ve learnt about how these issues are being experienced across Australia in this report, Living in Australia – 2024:
