  • Is it expensive to live in Bennett Springs?

    Buying versus renting looks quite different in Bennett Springs. A median house price of $1,085,000 is about 10.0 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census (weekly household income $2,077 × 52 = $108,004). By contrast, a house rent of about $800 a week would take roughly 38.5% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census. On these figures, buying sits well above what local households earned at the last Census, while renting would take a sizeable share of a typical local household's income.

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