Mundijong is a smaller community of 1,246 — about 22% of the Western Australia suburb median (5,605) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. At $94,796/year, household income in Mundijong is within 5% of the Western Australia median ($99,736), placing the suburb firmly in the state's mainstream demographic band. Rent of $385/week (87% coverage of the $1,920/month median mortgage) leaves a gap of roughly $252/month that a typical investor bridges with negative gearing, depreciation and capital growth. At 38 km from Perth, Mundijong is an outer-metro location where buyers are typically trading commute time for floor space and a lower entry price.

The median monthly mortgage repayment in Mundijong is $1,920, or approximately $23,040/year (vs $1,902/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 $385 works out to $1,668/month, covering 87% of the median mortgage repayment of $1,920/month. That leaves a $252/month shortfall (around $3,024/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 (1,246 residents), interest-rate sensitivity on the $1,920 median mortgage, the broader Western Australia market cycle. Each of these is covered in the Risk Factors section above with suburb-specific numbers rather than generic warnings.
