The short answer

Queensland is home to 2,168 people. Median household income is $204,423 a year and median rent is $1,799 a month, 10.6% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). Rent pressure is lighter than in most places. The median home is valued at $480,500, about 2.4x annual median household income.
