A massive 43 point gap separates Poona from the national average in home ownership, with 73.5% of homes owned outright. This sparsely populated area is defined by very low housing costs and a strong preference for detached houses. Most residents own their homes completely, making it far less common to rent here than in other parts of Queensland.
