On the figures here, buying a house in Zuccoli at a median of $685,000 works out to about 4.9 times a typical local household's annual income as recorded at the most recent Census, which puts buying somewhat above what households locally earned. Renting looks more moderate: a house rent of $790 a week would take about 29.5% of that typical weekly household income at the last Census, and a unit rent of $680 a week would take about 25.4%. If you're mainly focused on renting rather than buying, those rent shares are the most relevant numbers to watch and judge for your own situation.

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