Housing & Dwellings in Tablelands

Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.

Far lower costs and a much higher rate of home ownership define Tablelands (South Burnett - Qld). Nearly half of all residents own their homes outright, which is far above the national figure. This makes the area much more affordable than most of Australia, with typical mortgage payments and rents sitting well below state and national levels.
