Most households here own (79% are owners or paying off a mortgage) and only 16% rent. Separate houses dominate the housing stock (96%), which gives the suburb a quieter, family-leaning feel — borne out by a median age of 45 and a population around 5,457. The most common occupation is Technicians and Trades Workers, and 15% of residents were born overseas. Capel is 177km from Perth, 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.
