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 Rockley % Rockley New South Wales % New South Wales Australia % Australia
Median rent 120 -- 300 -- 285 --

Households where rent payments are 30%, or greater, of household income -- 0.0 -- 11.6 -- 10.4
