Dwelling ownership
en-NZ
Description
Dwelling ownership aggregates categories from the 'tenure of household' classification. Tenure refers to the occupancy a household has in a private dwelling. It does not refer to the tenure of the land on which the dwelling is situated.
The dwelling can be classified in two ways:
Owned or partly owned: dwellings that are held (or not held) in a family trust, regardless of whether mortgage payments are made or not made for the dwelling.
Dwelling not owned: dwellings where the household does not own the dwelling, and either pays rent or lives there rent-free.
