Three of Sydney's sub-regions recorded double-digit annual dwelling value declines, led by Ryde, while Melbourne's prestigious inner eastern suburbs have also had home values fall by more than 10% over the past 12 months.
These included variables such as neighbourhood dwelling value, neighbourhood household income and neighbourhood unemployment rate.
Dwelling value and average income were highly correlated (r = 0.73) and followed very similar patterns in their correlations with pollutants.
Logistic regressions were used to test associations between asthma and air pollution, controlling for variables including neighbourhood income, dwelling value, state of housing, a deprivation index and smoking.
These included income [ 39] and dwelling value [ 37], both of which were obtained from the 1996 Census of Canada with information available at the census tract level.
Principal component analysis, local indicators of spatial association (LISA), and geographical information systems were used to identify neighbourhoods representing clusters of 17 socioeconomic (e.g., unemployment, low income, education, dwelling value) and demographic (e.g., recent immigrants, marital status, gender) determinants of health and related risk factors.
Property prices experienced their biggest rise in six months in January, with capital city dwelling values up 1.3% in the month, according to figures from CoreLogic RP Data.
Nationally there was a 0.7% drop in dwelling values in February, which takes the overall decline to -6.8% since a peak in October 2017.
In the same area, Jerrett et al. (2001) observed that TSP levels were higher in census tracts with higher dwelling values and lower income.
A number of more recent Canadian studies have also found neighbourhood level factors independently associated with obesity including low neighbourhood-level education and dwelling values [ 18] and low density land uses and low levels of walkability [ 19].
