Blumont is a smaller community of 29 — about 1% of the Tasmania suburb median (3,902) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. Households here earn $84,448/year on average — 14% above the TAS suburb median of $73,944 — a modest premium that supports resilient owner-occupier demand. Weekly rent of $110 covers just 31% of the median $1,550/month mortgage repayment, leaving a $1,073/month gap — investors should only pursue this suburb with a clear capital-growth thesis and sufficient external income to fund the shortfall. Blumont is 193 km from Hobart, so the local market tracks regional employment and lifestyle drivers more than CBD-driven commuter demand. Only 56% of dwellings are separate houses (vs 80% state median), so this is a unit-heavy market where body-corporate decisions and strata supply meaningfully shape investor returns.

Limited buy-and-hold upside: a small population of 29 means liquidity is thin and capital growth tends to lag the wider Tasmania market over full cycles.
Weak cash flow: $110/week rent covers only 31% of the $1,550/month median mortgage — a $1,073/month gap that must be funded from other income. This suburb is a capital-growth play, not a yield play.
Only 56% of dwellings are separate houses (vs 80% TAS median) — this is a unit and townhouse market, where cosmetic flips struggle against body-corporate restrictions, thinner after-reno uplift and competing new supply.

Blumont scores 38/100 on our EquitySight investment framework — a weak rating. That score is driven by a population of 29, median household income of $84,448/year and median weekly rent of $110. Whether it fits your portfolio depends on whether you are targeting cash flow, capital growth, or a value-add renovation — all three are scored with suburb-specific numbers elsewhere on this page.

Together these shape both owner-occupier and tenant demand and are the factors we weight most heavily in the suburb's investment score.
Blumont has a usual resident population of approximately 29, compared with a Tasmania suburb median of 3,902 — 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.
Blumont sits 193 km straight-line from the Hobart 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 $110 in Blumont, equating to approximately $5,720/year in gross rental income (state median $320/week). Market rents have typically drifted above the recorded figure — verify against current listings on realestate.com.au and Domain before making an offer.
The median monthly mortgage repayment in Blumont is $1,550, or approximately $18,600/year (vs $1,378/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 $110 works out to $477/month, covering 31% of the median mortgage repayment of $1,550/month. That leaves a $1,073/month shortfall (around $12,876/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 (29 residents), interest-rate sensitivity on the $1,550 median mortgage, the broader Tasmania market cycle. Each of these is covered in the Risk Factors section above with suburb-specific numbers rather than generic warnings.
