Inform housing strategy
housing.id gives you the evidence to understand the local demographic and economic determinants of housing supply and demand, so you can create more informed strategy.
Monitor the real impact of strategy
It's easy for strategies to be "set and forget". Monitor the real-world impacts of actions and get timely insights into how your strategies are working in the changing housing environment.
Advocate with evidence
housing.id has been designed from .id’s extensive experience building evidence bases that local governments use to liaise with and advocate to state government and other agencies.
Plan for appropriate housing
There are strong links between the demographic and economic characteristics of your community and their housing preferences. housing.id highlights mismatches between current supply and the profile of current and future forecast residents.
Quantify affordability
Understand how and where housing stress is affecting your residents, and how the market is supplying and affecting affordability. Devise local strategies for meeting needs with appropriate housing types.
Build partnerships
Get council, community housing providers and developers on the same page. Having an online evidence base for housing means council staff, community housing providers, developers and other partners can work together from the same data.

Save time
Council staff don’t often have the time to become statistical experts, especially in the complex housing space. Don't spend weeks swimming in Excel spreadsheets; get the data you need in seconds via an easy to use online platform.
Save money
A subscription to housing.id is a third of the cost of the average housing study. It is also more cost-effective than undertaking this analysis internally, saving on staff costs and expensive data purchases.
Stay up to date
Housing studies from consultants are generally static snapshots in time, quickly out of date – especially in terms of housing affordability. housing.id is updated every 6 months, allowing you to monitor and respond to change.
Easy to use
Don’t get bogged down in pages and pages of numbers. housing.id organises presents multiple sets of information to tell a detailed story in the most straightforward, accessible way.
Localised insights
Housing data is often only provided at the LGA level. housing.id presents a growing number of datasets at a sub-LGA level, enabling Council to accurately target their effort and resources to the relevant community.
Expert support
Collaboration is core to the way we do business. Your subscription gives you direct, ongoing support from the housing experts behind the tool: from training and briefing sessions to ad-hoc advice over the phone.
Ensure consistency
Inconsistent information creates confusion. housing.id is a consistent and comprehensive evidence base accessible for all: Council staff, Councillors, community housing providers, developers and other partners, plus residents and community groups.
Get on the same page
housing.id is supplied as a publicly accessible website that can be shared by the Council. An open, consistent and up-to-date evidence base is essential to bringing together council, housing providers and developers.
Engage the community
Publishing an intuitive housing dashboard on Council’s website invites community to inform themselves, raising awareness and opening conversations.
