Description

From 2008, the Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children (LSIC) has been following a cohort of Indigenous children, interviewing their families each year as they grow up. The initial sample comprised of 1,671 children from two age groups: from 6 months to 2 years and 3½ years to 5 years.

This factsheet looks at differences in housing experiences of Indigenous children living in urban, regional and remote Australia. Unless otherwise stated, figures reported are based on data from Waves 1 (2008) to 13 (2020) of the LSIC.
