Public permanent housing household distribution in Hong Kong 2010-2022, by district
In 2022, more than 57 percent of domestic households living in public housing in Hong Kong were located in the new territories, followed by Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. Due to high rents in the city, public housing was the only affordable options for many residents. However, because demand was very high, waiting times for a public housing option could reach up to 10 years.
