Average rent in Young, NSW — 2026

Young comes in cheaper than most of New South Wales — the typical renter pays $250/week, around 41% below the state median of $424/week (ABS Census 2021). Most households here own (around 67% are owners or paying down a mortgage), and only 29% rent. The suburb is overwhelmingly separate houses (88%), with very little high-density stock. Population is around 11,004, median age 42, and the most common occupation category is Technicians and Trades Workers. 8% of residents were born overseas. At 269km from Sydney, Young 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.
