Bynoe is a smaller community of 98 — about 3% of the Northern Territory suburb median (3,057) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. Bynoe's median household income of $53,092/year is 53% below the Northern Territory suburb median ($113,308) — this is an affordability play where returns lean on yield and patient capital growth rather than demographic premium. Median weekly rent of $353 equates to $1,530/month — about 134% of the median mortgage repayment of $1,142/month — meaning rental income covers most of a typical owner's repayment and this is a genuine cash-flow suburb before tax benefits. At 43 km from Darwin, Bynoe is an outer-metro location where buyers are typically trading commute time for floor space and a lower entry price. Only 51% of dwellings are separate houses (vs 68% state median), so this is a unit-heavy market where body-corporate decisions and strata supply meaningfully shape investor returns.
