Of the 383 public housing rental dwellings, 131 dwellings had 1 bedroom (34%), 71 dwellings had
two bedrooms (19%), 143 dwellings had three bedrooms (37%), 33 dwellings had four bedrooms
(9%), and 5 dwellings had five bedrooms (1%) (Table 10). In comparison, 196 households in
public housing dwellings were lone person households (51%), 100 households had 2 occupants
(26%), and 42 households had 3 occupants (11%). In the table below, cells have been highlighted
to show where there is some mismatch in dwelling size and household size (with blue suggesting
some potential mismatch and grey suggesting a higher potential mismatch).
