Rent against income in Ipswich
Set the median weekly rent against the median weekly income of all Ipswich households, renters or not, and the rent equals 20% of it, below 22% across Queensland. The comparison is worked out on this page from the two medians; it is not a Census figure, and it is not what renters themselves pay.
Few homes stood empty: 6% of private dwellings in the Ipswich council area were unoccupied on Census night, below 9% across Queensland, and the households in them were larger than the state's, at 2.8 people on average against 2.5.

The people in them are younger than the state's, with a median age of 33 years against 38. In all, 229,208 people lived in the Ipswich council area at the 2021 Census.
