Rental Affordability Snapshot 2026

Anglicare Tasmania’s Rental Affordability Snapshot is in its twentieth year.

The housing situation has never been more dire.

The 2026 Rental Affordability Snapshot shows a 9% drop in listings across Tasmania since last year and less than half the number of properties available 10 years ago.

It details how unprecedented low vacancy rates and soaring rents are pushing a growing number of Tasmanians into housing insecurity and homelessness.

The report calls on governments to focus on the needs of people on the lowest incomes by expanding housing supply and increasing income support payments.
