Against what local households earned at the last Census, housing in Edmondson Park looks mixed. The median house price of $1,336,500 is about 10.0 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census, which places buying a house well above local incomes. The median unit price of $750,000 is about 5.6 times annual household income, somewhat above local incomes. On the rental side, an average house rent of $830 a week would take about 32.4% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a sizeable share, while an average unit rent of $695 a week is about 27.1% of weekly income, a moderate share. On these figures, buying a house is the most stretched option against local incomes, while renting or buying a unit looks less stretched.

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