FairSquare analyses every Australian suburb for property investors — score, yield, risk and a full investment verdict.
FairSquare's model rates Townsville, Queensland 5.6 out of 10 (Neutral Hold) as of June 2026.
Townsville's status as the self-sufficient economic and administrative capital of North Queensland underpins a robust rental market, evident in its exceptionally low 0.9% vacancy rate and strong tenant demand. Despite a capital-intensive entry at its current median price and 3.1% gross yield, its established role as a regional services hub provides structural demand, having recently driven 10% price growth. The market has started re-rating this location — 12-month growth of +10.0% puts it ahead of the broader Queensland median.
The median price is derived, not estimated. Every number on this page traces back to the model's proprietary yield surface — calibrated for each part of the country and resolved against distance from CBD. The price falls out of the formula.
