Almost 100,000 homes sit vacant in Melbourne, report finds

A new study has found almost 100,000 homes are vacant in Melbourne, enough to support those who are homeless and on the social housing waitlist.

One in 20 homes were unoccupied last year, according to the report published by independent think-tank Prosper Australia, who used residential water usage across 200 postcodes to collect the findings.

Of the 97,681 homes deemed vacant, about 27,408 were completely empty while another 70,453 were barely used.
