North Tivoli is a smaller community of 84 — about 2% of the Queensland suburb median (5,474) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. At $94,224/year, household income in North Tivoli is within 4% of the Queensland median ($90,298), placing the suburb firmly in the state's mainstream demographic band. Rent of $253/week (72% coverage of the $1,519/month median mortgage) leaves a gap of roughly $423/month that a typical investor bridges with negative gearing, depreciation and capital growth. At 26 km from Brisbane, North Tivoli is an outer-metro location where buyers are typically trading commute time for floor space and a lower entry price.

That score is driven by a population of 84, median household income of $94,224/year and median weekly rent of $253.

North Tivoli has a usual resident population of approximately 84, compared with a Queensland suburb median of 5,474 — placing it in the lower half of the state's suburbs by size. Population is the clearest proxy for market depth: more residents mean more transactions and typically a shorter average days-on-market on resale.

The most recent census recorded a median weekly rent of $253 in North Tivoli, equating to approximately $13,156/year in gross rental income (state median $385/week).

The median monthly mortgage repayment in North Tivoli is $1,519, or approximately $18,228/year (vs $1,733/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 $253 works out to $1,096/month, covering 72% of the median mortgage repayment of $1,519/month. That leaves a $423/month shortfall (around $5,076/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 (84 residents), interest-rate sensitivity on the $1,519 median mortgage, the broader Queensland market cycle. Each of these is covered in the Risk Factors section above with suburb-specific numbers rather than generic warnings.
