What percentage of Australia is habitable?

Answer 1

The great majority of the land mass of Australia is either arid or semi-arid, there is very little surface water, the rain fall is low and there are very few rivers that actually run other than immediately after heavy rain. Some of the larger deserts are the Great Victoria Desert, the Gibson Desert, the Tanami Desert, the Great Sandy Desert, the Little Sandy Desert, Sturt Stony Desert, the Simpson Desert. That accounts for most of the west of the continent, nearly two-thirds.

The most habitable areas are the coastal regions, especially for large urban populations.

Answer 2

Approximately 10 % of Australia is inhabited. Although much of the land is used for livestock and farming, this land is not actually inhabited. There are vast tracts of land which are completely isolated from any settlement.

Answer 3

60% is habitable, which means 40% is inhabitable. they still haven't started building further inland because there's not much demand for land. But as you can see from the inland cities of Canberra and Alice Springs, the need for land is increasing.
