Women do most of the housework and other surprising census figures | Greg Jericho

A breakdown of Australia's highest and lowest income, levels of mortgage stress and unpaid domestic work by gender won't come as a shock to anyone

The latest release of data from the 2016 census reveals the ageing population has seen a shift in the makeup of our workforce with more people employed as community and personal service workers than ever before. The census data also confirms previous data suggesting that the cutting of interest rates has made servicing a mortgage easier over the past five year. But while the shift in work has seen an increase in carers and domestic cleaners, the census also reveals that women continue to the do bulk of the housework.

It will probably not come as a shock to anyone that the electorate with the highest median mortgage is that held by our prime minister. The latest batch of census data released yesterday revealed than in 2016, the median monthly mortgage in the seat of Wentworth was $3,000 - some $30 a month higher than the second most expensive electorate to have a mortgage - that of Warringah, held by the previous prime minister Tony Abbott.
