Dayboro, QLD 4521, is a small country town in the Moreton Bay hinterland set among rolling farmland at the foothills of the D'Aguilar Range. It has a village feel centred on a tidy main street of cafes, antique and country stores and a regular market, while the surrounding area is made up of rural-residential blocks, hobby farms and renovated weatherboard cottages. The pace is relaxed and outdoorsy with easy access to bushland and scenic drives. Public transport is limited, so most residents rely on cars and larger centres are a short drive away.

Home to 2,376 people with a median age of 40, Dayboro is weighted towards couple families — about half of families are couple families with children (49.7%) and together with couple families without children (41.1%) they make up 90.8% of families. Homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied, around nine in ten. Several local projects are under way or planned to improve active-transport links, park and skate facilities, road connections and the water supply, and a replacement police facility is listed as funded. Whether Dayboro suits you comes down to whether you want a small, rural-centred community with village amenities and car dependence.

For renters in Dayboro, house rents run to $750 a week. Against a typical local household income of $2,303 a week as recorded at the most recent Census, that rent would take about 32.6% of income — roughly a third, which is a sizeable share of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census.

If you're renting rather than buying, that rent share is the most relevant figure to consider; whether it feels expensive depends on your own income and circumstances.
