Average rent in Ayr, QLD — 2026

Ayr comes in cheaper than most of Queensland — the typical renter pays $230/week, around 36% below the state median of $359/week (ABS Census 2021). Most households here own (around 65% are owners or paying down a mortgage), and only 30% rent. The suburb is overwhelmingly separate houses (83%), with very little high-density stock. Population is around 8,987, median age 44, and the most common occupation category is Labourers. 10% of residents were born overseas. At 1047km from Brisbane, Ayr 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.
