Average rent in Esk, QLD — 2026

Esk comes in cheaper than most of Queensland — the typical renter pays $260/week, around 28% below the state median of $359/week (ABS Census 2021). Most households here own (around 76% are owners or paying down a mortgage), and only 18% rent. The suburb is overwhelmingly separate houses (96%), with very little high-density stock. Population is around 5,052, median age 55, and the most common occupation category is Labourers. 14% of residents were born overseas. At 62km from Brisbane, Esk 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.
