Abstract

ABSTRACT Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer (LGBTIQ) people’s housing experiences are under-explored in Australia. Previous Australian and international research in social geography and housing studies suggests that this group experiences a range of barriers to secure and affordable housing, confirming the need for further insight in the Australian context. This article examines LGBTIQ housing tenure and satisfaction, drawing on data from two Australian surveys. Our analyses of nationally representative data from the Housing, Income and Labour Dynamics Australia (HILDA) survey, and state-specific data from The Tasmania Project, identify significant differences in housing tenure, and housing satisfaction between LGBTIQ and non-LGBTIQ Australians. We find LGBTIQ Australians are more likely than non-LGBTIQ to rent their homes and less satisfied with their housing overall. We also identify novel differences in housing patterns within LGBTIQ communities. The experiences and needs of LGBTIQ people must be considered for housing policy and services, as well as efforts to address housing stress and homelessness in Australian cities.

彩虹租房者:LGBTIQ和非LGBTIQ澳大利亚人在住房使用权和满意度方面的差异

摘要女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、双性人和酷儿（LGBTIQ）的住房体验在澳大利亚被低估了。此前澳大利亚和国际社会在社会地理和住房研究方面的研究表明，这一群体在获得安全和负担得起的住房方面遇到了一系列障碍，这证实了需要在澳大利亚背景下进一步深入了解。本文利用澳大利亚两项调查的数据，研究了LGBTIQ的住房保有权和满意度。我们对澳大利亚住房、收入和劳动力动态调查（HILDA）的全国代表性数据以及塔斯马尼亚项目的州具体数据进行了分析，确定了LGBTIQ和非LGBTIQ澳大利亚人在住房保有权和住房满意度方面的显著差异。我们发现，与非LGBTIQ相比，LGBTIQ澳大利亚人更有可能租房，对自己的住房总体不太满意。我们还发现了LGBTIQ社区内住房模式的新差异。在住房政策和服务以及解决澳大利亚城市住房压力和无家可归问题的努力中，必须考虑LGBTIQ人群的经历和需求。
