Highest rental yield suburbs in Hobart
The top 25 suburbs in Hobart by gross rental yield, ranked separately for houses and units. Gross yield is a year's median rent as a share of the median price. A suburb is ranked only when it has at least 10 sales of that dwelling type in the past year and a median price and rent that independent evidence agrees on, so a figure built from a handful of listings cannot top the table.

How this ranking works
- Gross yield is the median weekly rent x 52, divided by the median sale price, for each dwelling type.
- A suburb is ranked only with at least 10 sales of that dwelling type in the past 12 months, at least 1,000 residents, and a median price that independent evidence agrees on.
- Yields outside 3% to 9.5% are left out: figures beyond that range usually describe a wider area than the suburb, not the suburb itself.
- Where several suburbs share one postcode's figures, only the largest is listed. A rent shown as a dash is not yet well enough supported to publish.
- Suburb figures are refreshed as new market data arrives, at most about once a fortnight. Gross yield is before costs; use the rental yield calculator for net yield and cashflow on a specific property.

How is gross rental yield calculated?
Gross rental yield = weekly rent x 52 / price x 100. A suburb's figure uses its median weekly rent and median sale price for that dwelling type. It is before costs: rates, insurance, management, maintenance, strata and vacancy usually take 1.5 to 2 percentage points off, which is the net yield.
Is the highest-yield suburb the best investment?
Not on its own. High yields often come with lower expected growth, a thinner buyer pool or more vacancy risk, and a high figure can reflect a fall in prices rather than a rise in rents. Use the ranking to find suburbs to research, then check each suburb's vacancy, growth outlook and recent sales.
How often are these rankings updated?
Suburb medians are refreshed as new market data arrives, at most about once a fortnight, and this page picks the changes up within a day.
General information only, not personal financial advice. Check a suburb's own page and recent sales before relying on any figure.
