Mortgage & rent

Proportions are calculated using all tenure types for occupied private dwellings. This excludes visitor only and other non-classifiable households.

Rent weekly payments Muswellbrook (A) % Muswellbrook (A) New South Wales % New South Wales Australia % Australia
Median rent 230 -- 300 -- 285 --

Households where rent payments are 30%, or greater, of household income -- 9.9 -- 11.6 -- 10.4
