Renting in Edmonton
Edmonton runs roughly with the Queensland state median — renters typically pay $350/week, close to the $359/week state baseline (ABS Census 2021). Most households here own (65% are owners or paying off a mortgage) and only 32% rent. Separate houses dominate the housing stock (90%), which gives the suburb a quieter, family-leaning feel — borne out by a median age of 33 and a population around 11,409. The most common occupation is Technicians and Trades Workers, and 14% of residents were born overseas. Edmonton is 1382km from Brisbane, and rent trajectories here tend to track the state average rather than running ahead of it — but state rent indices have moved since 2021, so double-check against the live figure above.
