Housing, rent and growth
Housing & rent
ABS Census 2021Median rent is 24% of median household income. Below the 30% stress benchmark
| Measure | Value | vs other ACT suburbs |
|---|---|---|
| Median rent | $323/week | higher than 8% |
| Median household income | $1,374/week | higher than 3% |
| Rent as a share of income | 24% | higher than 95% |
| Median mortgage repayment | $3,033/month | higher than 96% |
| Average household size | 1.8 people | higher than 6% |
2021 Census figures: rents and incomes have risen since, so compare suburbs rather than reading today's prices. The rent share uses the median rent and the median income of all households (owners included), so it is a guide, not the share any one renter pays. The 30% benchmark is a common convention.
Growth & new homes
ABS Regional Population · Building Approvals| Measure | Value | vs other ACT areas |

Data notes
- Population is estimated (medium confidence) from the ABS 2021 Census.
- Recorded crime counts offences reported to or detected by police where they occurred. That includes offences against visitors and businesses, so busy centres score higher than their resident risk.
- States classify offences differently, so ranks compare areas within the same state.
