easonably simple to derive and provides a good approximation of levels of homeownership in the Indigenous population.Data on home ownership in this Report are survey data from the ABS 2004-05NATSIHS, 2002 NATSISS, 2002 GSS, and 1994 NATSIS. Data for 2004-05 aremore limited than those available for previous Reports — non-Indigenouscomparisons and data on rental of community housing are not available.Figure 3.7.1 Proportion of Indigenous people aged 18 years and over livingin home owner/purchaser households, by State/Territory a, b100801994 2002 2004-05Per cent6040200NSWVicQldWASATasACTNTAustraliaa Includes homes being purchased under a rent/buy scheme. b Error bars represent 95 per cent confidenceintervals around each estimate (see chapter 2 for more information). Estimates with an RSE of 25 per cent to50 per cent should be interpreted with caution. Estimates with an RSE greater than 50 per cent are consideredtoo unreliable for general use.Source: ABS 1994 NATSIS, 2002 NATSISS and 2004-05 NATSIHS (unpublished); tables 3A.7.1 and 3A.7.2.• In 2004-05, 25.4 per cent of Indigenous people aged 18 years and over lived inhome owner/purchaser households (figure 3.7.1).• The proportion of Indigenous people aged 18 years and over living in homeowner/purchaser households increased from 21.5 per cent in 1994 to 25.4 percent in 2004-05.• The proportion of Indigenous people aged 18 years and over living in homeowner/purchaser households varied between states and territories.• In 2002, the most recent year for which both Indigenous and non-Indigenousdata are available, a much lower proportion of Indigenous people aged 18 yearsand over (27.4 per cent) than non-Indigenous people (73.7 per cent) lived inhome owner/purchaser households (table 3A.7.2).HEADLINEINDICATORS69
