Lewinsbrook is a smaller community of 42 — about 1% of the New South Wales suburb median (5,325) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. Households here earn $103,948/year on average — 7% above the NSW suburb median of $97,552 — a modest premium that supports resilient owner-occupier demand. Weekly rent of $250 covers just 22% of the median $4,910/month mortgage repayment, leaving a $3,827/month gap — investors should only pursue this suburb with a clear capital-growth thesis and sufficient external income to fund the shortfall. Lewinsbrook is 163 km from Sydney, so the local market tracks regional employment and lifestyle drivers more than CBD-driven commuter demand. Separate houses make up 100% of dwellings — 24 percentage points above the New South Wales median of 76% — pointing to a family-oriented, land-rich market where value is concentrated in the underlying block.

Limited buy-and-hold upside: a small population of 42 means liquidity is thin and capital growth tends to lag the wider New South Wales market over full cycles.
Weak cash flow: $250/week rent covers only 22% of the $4,910/month median mortgage — a $3,827/month gap that must be funded from other income. This suburb is a capital-growth play, not a yield play.
With 100% houses in a 42-person market, renovation margins depend on individual street and aspect rather than any suburb-wide story — do comparable-sales analysis before committing capital.

That score is driven by a population of 42, median household income of $103,948/year and median weekly rent of $250.

Lewinsbrook has a usual resident population of approximately 42, compared with a New South Wales suburb median of 5,325 — placing it in the lower half of the state's suburbs by size.

Lewinsbrook sits 163 km straight-line from the Sydney CBD. This is a regional market where CBD distance is only indicative — local industry diversity and commute alternatives matter more.
The most recent census recorded a median weekly rent of $250 in Lewinsbrook, equating to approximately $13,000/year in gross rental income (state median $430/week).

The median monthly mortgage repayment in Lewinsbrook is $4,910, or approximately $58,920/year (vs $2,167/month state median). Stress-test your own borrowing at rates 1–2 percentage points above today's to make sure you can still service the loan through an RBA tightening cycle.
A median weekly rent of $250 works out to $1,083/month, covering 22% of the median mortgage repayment of $4,910/month. That leaves a $3,827/month shortfall (around $45,924/year before tax benefits), so a typical owner-occupier-priced property here is negatively geared. Actual cash flow depends on your deposit, loan terms, ownership costs and marginal tax rate — run the full numbers in our rental yield calculator.
The main risks are a thin buyer pool (42 residents), interest-rate sensitivity on the $4,910 median mortgage, the broader New South Wales market cycle. Each of these is covered in the Risk Factors section above with suburb-specific numbers rather than generic warnings.
