Is it expensive to live in Jannali?

In Jannali, a typical local household earned about $2,220 a week at the most recent Census. On those figures, renting a house for $1,000 a week would take about 45% of a typical local household's weekly income, a large share, while renting a unit at $615 a week would take about 28% of income, a moderate share. For buyers, the median house price of $1,755,500 is about 15.2 times a typical local annual household income, and the median unit price of $800,000 is about 6.9 times annual income. That means buying, especially a house, sits much more stretched against local incomes than renting a unit; 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.
