Dubbo (NSW 2830): property prices, streets & suburb profile

Dubbo house and unit prices

The median Dubbo house sold for $645,000 across the last 24 months; constant-quality growth is +95.1% over 10 years and +47.4% over 5 years.

• The headline growth figure uses a repeat-sales index of all dwellings (the same homes resold), which removes mix-of-what-sold noise; the tiles compare 12-month medians per dwelling type, so the two can differ slightly.
• Unit medians are yearly because strata volumes are low; treat them as indicative.
• Quarters with fewer than three house sales are left off the chart; one sale does not make a market median.

Dubbo street by street

Across 489 streets with enough house sales to compare, five-year medians on actively trading streets run from $160,000 on Wattle Street to $3,542,000 on Gunsynd Circuit.

• A street needs at least 5 sales of a type in 10 years to get a median, so streets quieter than that are left out entirely. Rankings use house sales only, so unit-heavy streets and residential parks are not mislabelled as cheap streets.
• The highlight cards quote each street's last-5-years median (at least 5 sales in that window), so they reflect prices a buyer could pay now; the table shows the full 10-year view.
• Prices are as-paid and not inflation-adjusted.

What buyers paid in Dubbo

Half of the 2031 house sales in the last 24 months landed between $530,000 and $769,500.

• House sales only, 24 months. The unit median has its own figure at the top of the page.
• Chart covers $300,000 to $1,300,000: 193 of the 2,031 house sales fall outside it (the cheapest and dearest few) and are left out so a handful of outliers cannot distort the shape.

Rent in Dubbo by bedrooms

A 3-bedroom house rents for a median $550/wk.

• From NSW rental bond lodgements for postcode 2830 (covers neighbouring suburbs too), 12 months to July 2026.
• Bands with fewer than 10 bonds are hidden.
• Biggest 12-month move: 1-bedroom units +25.0% year on year.

Who lives in Dubbo

Dubbo has a median age of 35 and a median household income of $1,690 a week, and 62.4% of homes are owner-occupied.

• Figures labelled Dubbo are for the suburb boundary itself (ABS 2021 Census). Anything labelled SA2 or postcode covers a wider area: SA2 "Dubbo - East" and postcode 2830 both extend beyond Dubbo.
• SEIFA decile 1 is the lowest tenth of Australian areas on that index and 10 the highest. The four indices measure different things and often disagree, which is why all four are shown: a suburb can rank high on education and occupation while ranking mid on economic resources.

Bushfire, flood and planning in Dubbo

2.0% of Dubbo properties sit in a mapped bushfire-prone area; no flood mapping is available in our dataset for this suburb.

• Bushfire-prone land is the NSW RFS certified map; being inside it triggers extra building requirements, not a prediction of fire.
• Absence of flood mapping in our dataset is NOT evidence a property cannot flood: always order a council s10.7 certificate before buying.

Schools serving Dubbo

Most Dubbo homes fall in the Dubbo Public School intake zone.

• ICSEA is ACARA's socio-educational index (average 1000). It describes the family backgrounds of the students enrolled, NOT how well a school teaches: a lower ICSEA means a less advantaged intake, not a worse school.
• Percentiles are ACARA's own national ranking, so the Australia bar is a published figure rather than our arithmetic. Each area shows the median of the mainstream schools sitting inside it; special schools are listed in the table but excluded from the medians.
• Catchments are NSW Department of Education intake zones; always confirm an address with the school.

Crime and safety around Dubbo

Break-ins, car theft and malicious damage run at 3,065 per 100,000 residents in postcode 2830, 104.1% above the NSW rate of 1,502.

• Counts are BOCSAR recorded incidents for January 2025 to December 2025 at LGA and postcode grain: both cover several suburbs, so they include neighbours of Dubbo.
• Rates divide incidents by resident population (ABS 2021 Census), so they are comparable between areas in a way raw counts are not. Every tier uses the same offences and the same 12 months for January 2025 to December 2025.
• Two limits worth knowing: the rate counts residents only, so a postcode with a town centre, nightlife strip or shopping precinct carries crime generated by visitors against a small resident denominator and reads high; and the population is the 2021 Census, so a suburb that has grown fast since then reads high too.
