A new census found young Australians are the most likely demographic to rank their communities less liveable - and that young women in certain states and territories have worse experiences than most.
Australia is becoming less liveable, according to the results of a nationwide liveability census, with gender and age among the biggest factors in whether people reported positive or negative experiences. The 2023 State of Place report, published on Thursday by data research organisation Place Score, surveyed more than 25,000 Australians to get a temperature check of what it’s like to live in different communities across the nation.
" Similarly, the report noted that the census' two most significant contributors to liveability both related to "social aspects of place that make us feel welcome and safe" – namely, whether a neighbourhood is deemed: "Welcoming to all people" and whether an individual feels: "There are people like me".
