Homes are more often owner-occupied than rented, with about two in five homes rented. Whether it suits you comes down to the kind of neighbourhood and amenities you want nearby.

In Everton Park the numbers show a clear gap between buying and renting against local incomes at the last Census. A median house price of $1,270,000 is about 12.1 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census (weekly household income $2,018 × 52 = $104,936), which places buying well above what households were earning then. For renters, a house rent of $750 a week would take about 37.2% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a sizeable share, while a unit rent of $598 a week would take about 29.6%, a moderate share. On these figures, buying looks more stretched against local incomes than renting, and whether that feels expensive depends on your own income and circumstances.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
