Average rent in Capalaba, QLD — 2026

Capalaba sits close to the Queensland median, with renters typically paying $383/week — within striking distance of the state-wide $359/week baseline (ABS Census 2021). The suburb is largely owner-occupied: 72% of households own outright or with a mortgage, and only 26% rent. Housing stock is dominated by separate houses (77%), giving the suburb a settled, family-oriented character that's reflected in the median age of 39 and a population of around 18,254. The most common occupation is Technicians and Trades Workers, and 22% of residents were born overseas. 18km from Brisbane, Capalaba is the kind of mid-market suburb that usually sees stable rent trajectories rather than rapid spikes — though state rent indices since 2021 are worth checking against your reported figure above.
