Apartments, townhouses and fewer bedrooms
Separate houses are 57% of occupied homes in Alderley, below the 75% across Queensland. Alongside the flats, townhouses, terraces or semi-detached houses make up 14%, above the state's 12%. Bedroom counts lean lower than the state's. 38% of homes have two bedrooms or fewer, above 22% across Queensland, while 34% have three, below 37%, and 28% have four or more, below the state's 39%. On Census night, 7% of private dwellings were unoccupied, below the 9% statewide, so a smaller share of homes stood empty than across Queensland.
Higher incomes, and more households renting
Median household income in Alderley is $2,320 a week, above $1,675 across Queensland. The median rent is $390 a week, above the state's $365. Worked out on this page from those two medians, the rent equals 17% of the median weekly income of all households, renters or not. The same comparison gives 22% across Queensland, so Alderley sits below the state on this measure.
Renting is more common than statewide: 41% of households rent, above 33%, and 72% of those renting households rent from a landlord the ABS records as a real estate agent, above the state's 66%. That suggests renting through an agent is a more usual arrangement for renting households here than across Queensland as a whole.
35% of households are paying off a mortgage, above 34% across the state, with a median repayment of $2,200 a month against $1,733. Outright owners make up 23% of households, below the state's 29%. On these figures, owning without a loan is less common in Alderley than across Queensland, and carrying a mortgage more common.
