Social Housing Vacancy Episodes for Maintenance and Re-tenanting

Queensland social rental housing data on vacancy episodes completed during a financial year. The dataset includes information on vacancies due to maintenance and the re-tenanting of properties, sourced from the Department of Housing and Public Works. Data structures changed in 2019-20 due to new technology systems, which may impact cross-year comparisons.

Use Cases

Strengths

• Data is provided under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• The description explicitly notes a known structural change in 2019-20, aiding interpretation.
