From the Stats NZ 2023 Census. Rental demand indicators that shape tenant pool and vacancy.
Kaurilands is a relatively tightly held suburb, with renters making up just 23% of households against a population of 3,099. The median age of 37 and a high median household income of $134,400 point to a tenant profile of established professionals and families who prioritise quality housing in a settled, well-regarded neighbourhood.
Rents range from $519 per week at the lower quartile to $714 per week at the upper quartile, with the overall median sitting at $625 per week. Two-bedroom properties are available at a median of $498 per week, offering a more accessible entry point for smaller households or couples looking to rent in the area.
Based on the Auckland median price of $1,000,000, indicative gross yields in Kaurilands sit between 2.7% and 3.7%. These figures are modest by national standards and are typical of premium Auckland suburbs where capital growth has historically been the primary driver of investor returns rather than rental income alone.
Investors should stress-test cash flow carefully at these yield levels, factoring in rates, insurance, property management fees, and maintenance on what are typically larger, older homes. Periods of vacancy or unexpected repair costs can materially affect net returns when gross yields are at the lower end of the range.
Kaurilands appeals to investors seeking stable, quality tenancies in an established Auckland suburb, supported by a median household income of $134,400 and a relatively mature demographic with a median age of 37. However, the indicative gross yield range of 2.7%–3.7% means the suburb is unlikely to deliver strong cash-flow returns at current price levels, making it better suited to investors with a longer-term capital growth focus.
With only 23% of households renting, competition for quality tenants can be lower, but so too is the depth of the rental market — investors should be prepared for potentially longer re-letting periods between tenancies.
