A year of rent at the median takes 63% of one average local wage of $85,040, compared with 46% across Sydney. That is the 7th heaviest burden of 218 Sydney postcodes, above the city average. Housing costs above 30% of income are widely treated as housing stress; a household with two average wages would spend about 31%.
