Growth per year, last 5 years
Steady growth. Not a boom town, not going backwards.
Households · Census 2021
51
Median age
$1,158
Median household income per week
70% own or are paying off their home, 24% rent. An owner-occupier market at heart, which tends to steady prices through the cycle.
New supply
What's being approved to build.
Building approvals are tomorrow's supply. A market where approvals are falling while population grows is a market where pressure builds. The reverse deserves caution.
Dwellings approved · ABS
27 of the latest year's approvals were houses. Approvals are roughly steady year to year.
Jobs and investment
Who's working, and what's being spent.
Jobs pay mortgages and rents. Government and commercial building spend is where future jobs come from: schools, hospitals, shops and factories all get approved before they get built.
Jobs · SALM, March 2026
4,770
Employed residents
5.7%
Unemployment (national 4.2%)
162 more residents are in work than five years ago (+3.5%). Steady jobs growth, in line with a healthy regional economy.

General information only, not financial or investment advice. Cycle positions and projections are modelled LGA-level figures to July 2026 (licensed market analytics). Population and approvals are ABS estimates; employment is SALM smoothed data; income, age and tenure are Census 2021. None of it can see street quality, flood maps, zoning or the contract, which is where deals are actually won and lost. Get advice on your own situation before acting.
Data finds the area. It doesn't buy the house.
We narrow 15,000 suburbs to the top 5 for each client, then find the street and the property. If Hinchinbrook is on your list, that's a conversation worth having early.
