Piccadilly is a smaller community of 2,305 — about 41% of the Western Australia suburb median (5,605) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. Median household income of $115,024/year runs 15% above the Western Australia suburb median of $99,736, indicating strong purchasing power and the type of demographic profile that tends to sustain premium property prices through market cycles. Median weekly rent of $320 equates to $1,387/month — about 91% of the median mortgage repayment of $1,517/month — meaning rental income covers most of a typical owner's repayment and this is a genuine cash-flow suburb before tax benefits. Piccadilly is 549 km from Perth, so the local market tracks regional employment and lifestyle drivers more than CBD-driven commuter demand.
Regional property can deliver strong cash-flow yields but liquidity is tighter — plan for longer hold periods and verify local employment stability. Local rents consume roughly 14% of household income — a useful sanity check on tenant affordability.

Strong rental coverage: $320/week (~$1,387/month) covers 91% of the $1,517/month median mortgage repayment, so the shortfall sits at just $130/month. Investors targeting positive cash flow should shortlist this suburb.
Only 66% of dwellings are separate houses (vs 79% WA median) — this is a unit and townhouse market, where cosmetic flips struggle against body-corporate restrictions, thinner after-reno uplift and competing new supply.

Piccadilly has a usual resident population of approximately 2,305, compared with a Western Australia suburb median of 5,605 — placing it in the lower half of the state's suburbs by size.

The most recent census recorded a median weekly rent of $320 in Piccadilly, equating to approximately $16,640/year in gross rental income (state median $350/week).

The median monthly mortgage repayment in Piccadilly is $1,517, or approximately $18,204/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 $320 works out to $1,387/month, covering 91% of the median mortgage repayment of $1,517/month. That leaves a $130/month shortfall (around $1,560/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 (2,305 residents), interest-rate sensitivity on the $1,517 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.
