Queensland’s ageing population is struggling to afford rent, according to data released by a tenancy advocacy service.
Tenants Queensland released the Rental Vulnerability Index (RVI), which examines the vulnerability of tenants based on socio-economic factors including disability, education, age and employment status.
CEO of Tenants Queensland, Penny Carr, said the findings show that regional areas of the state are the most vulnerable, particularly elderly people in areas around Gympie, Bundaberg, Moreton Bay and the Fraser Coast.
