Police Point market and investor summary
In Police Point, TAS 7116, the median house sells for around $710K, on a gross rental yield of 3.8% for houses. At 1.1% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.
For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 3.8% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.1% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
Living in Police Point: people, income and schools
Police Point is home to around 76 people, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 9% over five years. At a median age of 48, it reads as skewed a little older, and 90% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
The typical household income runs to around $55,000 a year (about $1,060 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (2 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 12.9 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Incomes have risen about 20% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
