Rogues Point is a smaller community of 34 — about 1% of the South Australia suburb median (3,699) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. Household income of $75,816/year is 6% below the South Australia median of $80,964, typically translating into lower entry prices and a tenant base more sensitive to rent increases. Median weekly rent of $277 equates to $1,200/month — about 113% of the median mortgage repayment of $1,059/month — meaning rental income covers most of a typical owner's repayment and this is a genuine cash-flow suburb before tax benefits. Rogues Point is 80 km from Adelaide, so the local market tracks regional employment and lifestyle drivers more than CBD-driven commuter demand. Only 18% of dwellings are separate houses (vs 73% state median), so this is a unit-heavy market where body-corporate decisions and strata supply meaningfully shape investor returns.
