Round Hill is a smaller community of 100 — about 3% of the Tasmania suburb median (3,902) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. Median household income of $106,132/year runs 44% above the Tasmania suburb median of $73,944, indicating strong purchasing power and the type of demographic profile that tends to sustain premium property prices through market cycles. Median rent of $185/week (~$802/month) covers only 57% of the median mortgage of $1,408/month — the remaining $606/month must be funded from other income, so this suburb tilts toward capital growth rather than yield. Round Hill is 231 km from Hobart, so the local market tracks regional employment and lifestyle drivers more than CBD-driven commuter demand.

Limited buy-and-hold upside: a small population of 100 means liquidity is thin and capital growth tends to lag the wider Tasmania market over full cycles.
Weak cash flow: $185/week rent covers only 57% of the $1,408/month median mortgage — a $606/month gap that must be funded from other income. This suburb is a capital-growth play, not a yield play.
With 88% houses in a 100-person market, renovation margins depend on individual street and aspect rather than any suburb-wide story — do comparable-sales analysis before committing capital.

Round Hill scores 44/100 on our EquitySight investment framework — a moderate rating. That score is driven by a population of 100, median household income of $106,132/year and median weekly rent of $185. 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.
The main demand drivers in Round Hill are an above-state-median household income of $106,132/year, a dwelling mix that is 88% separate houses, roughly 1 schools and 1 parks within the catchment. Together these shape both owner-occupier and tenant demand and are the factors we weight most heavily in the suburb's investment score.
Round Hill has a usual resident population of approximately 100, 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.
Round Hill sits 231 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 $185 in Round Hill, equating to approximately $9,620/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 Round Hill is $1,408, or approximately $16,896/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 $185 works out to $802/month, covering 57% of the median mortgage repayment of $1,408/month. That leaves a $606/month shortfall (around $7,272/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 (100 residents), interest-rate sensitivity on the $1,408 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.
