Average rent in Karnup, WA — 2026

Karnup sits close to the Western Australia median, with renters typically paying $370/week — within striking distance of the state-wide $337/week baseline (ABS Census 2021). The suburb is largely owner-occupied: 79% of households own outright or with a mortgage, and only 20% rent. Housing stock is dominated by separate houses (100%), giving the suburb a settled, family-oriented character that's reflected in the median age of 30 and a population of around 2,096. The most common occupation is Technicians and Trades Workers, and 26% of residents were born overseas. 52km from Perth, Karnup 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.
