Average rent in Longford, TAS — 2026

Longford comes in cheaper than most of Tasmania — the typical renter pays $260/week, around 11% below the state median of $293/week (ABS Census 2021). Most households here own (around 71% are owners or paying down a mortgage), and only 25% rent. The suburb is overwhelmingly separate houses (86%), with very little high-density stock. Population is around 4,428, median age 47, and the most common occupation category is Technicians and Trades Workers. 10% of residents were born overseas. At 145km from Hobart, Longford 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.
