Sustainable Development Goals 11
WWP TARGET:
Reduce the housing shortfall in the region from approximately 7500 homes in November 2019 to a point where all our people are well housed by 2030.
ACHIEVING OUR TARGET MEANS THAT:
Every person and every family in the Waikato is well housed (using the UN Right to Adequate Housing).
There has been an unprecedented deterioration in housing affordability,
driven by the result of the pandemic and its related demand shock and it continues to disrupt standards of living, housing markets and national economies.
Change in the number of severely unaffordable housing markets in 2021 compared to 2019
Change in the number of affordable and moderately affordable markets
in 2021 compared to 2019
Slum dwellers in 2020

Average years for a first-home buyer in 6 main cities to save a deposit. 7.9 years in 2006.
of renting households spend 25%+ of their income on housing in 2021
Owners = 30.4%
A shortfall of new build houses in 2018 has focused the housing sector on opportunities to meet demand. Housing costs still take up a large proportion of people’s incomes, whether as owners or renters. Rising interest costs will further reduce affordability. There is now a strong focus on housing affordability and quality.
