Investment Insight

Uxbridge is a smaller community of 40 — about 1% of the Tasmania suburb median (3,902) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. Uxbridge's median household income of $58,500/year is 21% below the Tasmania suburb median ($73,944) — this is an affordability play where returns lean on yield and patient capital growth rather than demographic premium. Median weekly rent of $350 equates to $1,517/month — about 190% of the median mortgage repayment of $800/month — meaning rental income covers most of a typical owner's repayment and this is a genuine cash-flow suburb before tax benefits. At 40 km from Hobart, Uxbridge is an outer-metro location where buyers are typically trading commute time for floor space and a lower entry price.

Investment Strategy

Buy & Hold

Limited buy-and-hold upside: a small population of 40 means liquidity is thin and capital growth tends to lag the wider Tasmania market over full cycles.

Rental Yield

Strong rental coverage: $350/week (~$1,517/month) covers 190% of the $800/month median mortgage repayment, so the shortfall sits at just $0/month. Investors targeting positive cash flow should shortlist this suburb.

⚠️
Renovation / Flip

With 78% houses in a 40-person market, renovation margins depend on individual street and aspect rather than any suburb-wide story — do comparable-sales analysis before committing capital.

What is the population of Uxbridge?

Uxbridge has a usual resident population of approximately 40, compared with a Tasmania suburb median of 3,902 — placing it in the lower half of the state's suburbs by size.

What is the typical mortgage repayment in Uxbridge?

The median monthly mortgage repayment in Uxbridge is $800, or approximately $9,600/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.

Is Uxbridge cash-flow positive for investors?

That means rent exceeds the median repayment by roughly $717/month, so on these numbers Uxbridge leans cash-flow-positive before accounting for strata, council rates, insurance and maintenance. 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 (40 residents), interest-rate sensitivity on the $800 median mortgage, below-median household incomes ($58,500 vs $73,944 state median), the broader Tasmania market cycle. Each of these is covered in the Risk Factors section above with suburb-specific numbers rather than generic warnings.
