Buying a house in Kippa-Ring sits well above local incomes. With a median house price of $962,500 and a typical local household earning about $1,297 a week at the most recent Census, that house price is about 14.3 times a typical local annual household income. Renting is also a sizeable outlay on these figures: the average house rent of $638 a week would take about 49% of a typical local household's weekly income, and the average unit rent of $525 a week would take about 41%. If you are renting rather than buying, those rent shares are the most relevant numbers to consider.
