Fraser Coast Regional, Queensland
Good to Know
Urangan, QLD 4655 is a high-value house market in the Fraser Coast Regional Council area, currently positioned as a long-hold capital growth submarket. Located on the Fraser Coast near Hervey Bay, Urangan is home to roughly 10,988 residents across 6,974 dwellings and has a vacancy rate of 1.48%.
According to HtAG Analytics, Urangan is exhibiting balanced supply–demand behaviour. Stock on Market sits at 0.46% and Inventory at 3.0 months — around the ~3-month balanced-market threshold — driving +15.5% YoY price growth and +6.3% YoY rent growth.
What the market data is signalling
Urangan is showing a classic growth-with-balance signal: strong price gains (+15.5% one-year) have been accompanied by healthy rent growth (+6.3%) and a rental yield of 3.57%, which sits above the common 3% benchmark. At the same time, transactional supply is not extreme — Stock on Market is 0.46% and Inventory is 3.0 months — but elevated building approvals (3.83%) suggest new supply could start to moderate momentum if it translates into completions.

Who lives in Urangan — and why it matters for investors
Urangan's IRSAD of 902 sits below the recommended crossover threshold, which signals a more constrained socio-economic profile. That can reduce downside in downturns but may also limit the ceiling for long-cycle premium capital growth. The suburb's 30.0% renter share (neutral) and mixed housing stock profile support steady rental demand without extreme volatility — see our IRSAD Crossover study for how socio-economic positioning affects long-run outcomes.
Why suburb-level data matters for Urangan
Suburb-level metrics are critical because council and region averages blend many micro-markets. Decisions should rest on Urangan's own figures: a typical house price of $863,635, a gross yield of 3.57%, Stock on Market at 0.46%, Inventory of 3.0 months and a median 49 days on market. These specifics change the risk–reward profile compared with other pockets in the same council — read more in our LGA vs Suburb research.

What's behind the RCS™ score of 54
The HtAG RCS™ (overall 54) bundles three independent dimensions — risk minimisation, capital-growth potential and cashflow resilience — into one composite. Each sub-score matters for matching Urangan to your strategy: a middle RCS reflects strong recent growth but some supply and affordability headwinds. Learn more about how the RCS™ is built.

Forward signals to watch
The vacancy rate — currently 1.48%: sustained readings around this level over 12–24 months generally indicate a balanced rental market, which supports moderate rent growth but limits upside rental shock.
The building approvals ratio — currently 3.83%: this elevated approvals reading (>2%) points to a comparatively high pipeline of new supply, which can slow price momentum if many approvals convert to new dwellings.
The Brisbane cycle phase: a shift in the broader Brisbane-cycle (capital-city) direction — into either acceleration or slowdown — would typically amplify or damp local Urangan momentum, especially for buyers priced at the suburb's current typical level.

Area Risks
Property data alone won't flag the structural risks that can erode a long-hold position. Bushfire overlays, flood-zone exposure, and economic concentration sit outside the price feed but determine whether your capital is insurable, defensible, and structurally protected. Unlock to see.
Are there hidden structural risks shaping Urangan's long-hold story?
Beyond the headline price, Urangan carries risk signals a median can't show — hazard exposure from bushfire and flood overlays, and how narrowly local employment leans on a handful of sectors (the concentration the EDI score quantifies). Together these separate insurable, defensible long-holds from those carrying tail-risk that never surfaces in the headline number.

Supply & Demand
Urangan's headline numbers show where the market is today. The two cards below answer where it's heading. Direction is what separates a buy from a wait.
Is housing supply tightening or building up?
Stock on Market is one number — the trend is what matters. SoM, inventory, building approvals and hold period together reveal whether the market is starving for stock (price pressure up) or quietly building a pipeline (pressure down).

Is buyer and renter demand heating up or cooling off?
Vacancy is one signal — the real question is whether demand is still building or quietly peaking. Days on market, vacancy, search index and clearance rate are the four pulse-points — when they diverge, they signal a turning point.

Fundamentals
Urangan can look solid on the surface — but the three layers below separate markets that genuinely hold value from ones that only look like they do.
Is Urangan genuinely stable - or just expensive?
IRSAD hints at affluence, but socio-economic strength alone doesn't guarantee resilience. Combined with the renter-to-owner balance and unit-to-house ratio, you get the three signals that separate a tightly-held submarket from one carrying hidden volatility.
