Average rent in Goulburn, NSW — 2026

Goulburn comes in cheaper than most of New South Wales — the typical renter pays $320/week, around 25% below the state median of $424/week (ABS Census 2021). Most households here own (around 63% are owners or paying down a mortgage), and only 33% rent. The suburb is overwhelmingly separate houses (84%), with very little high-density stock. Population is around 24,565, median age 40, and the most common occupation category is Community and Personal Service Workers. 11% of residents were born overseas. At 167km from Sydney, Goulburn typically sits outside the inner-ring rent pressure zone — but state rent indices since 2021 have moved a lot, so the live figure above is a better current guide than the Census baseline.
