Question 1

Is Dysart a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Dysart is a small Bowen Basin service town with a compact centre that includes shops, a health clinic, a school and a community sports oval.

The community is young, with many renters and incomes above the Queensland median, and the town functions as a local support hub for nearby mining and pastoral properties. Two thousand nine hundred and eighteen people live in Dysart; local clubs, regular events and sporting fixtures shape the weekly rhythm of life, and Isaac Regional Council has progressed the Dysart Community Hub project, described as a welcoming, accessible and adaptable community space.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Dysart?

Accepted Answer

On the figures, buying in Dysart looks relatively affordable against local incomes. A median house price of $272,500 works out to about 2.1 times a typical local annual household income; a typical local household earned $2,444 a week at the last Census, which makes annual income $127,088. Renting also appears modest: a house rent of $450 a week would take about 18% of that weekly income, and unit rent of $420 a week about 17%. If you're renting rather than buying, those rent shares are the number that matters.

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

Question 3

Is Dysart a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Dysart's median house value rose a modest 4.2% in the most recent 12 months. That movement is the capital-growth metric for houses on this page, and there isn't enough recent data here to show how rents or the unit market moved over the same period.
