More than one in 10 households in Sydney's southwest are in crisis, unable to meet surging living costs, living in overcrowded houses, or experiencing homelessness.
For families and individuals living in suburbs southwest of the city, 12.7 per cent were experiencing housing stress, according to data commissioned by the Community Housing Industry Association.
The figures, from the University of NSW City Futures Research Centre, measure rental hardship, overcrowding, and the number of people experiencing homelessness.
