Given its location, the area experiences a lower demand for housing investment, thereby maintaining stable yet modest property prices. The local council plays a significant role in the management and allocation of residential properties to ensure that the housing needs of the community are met. The demand for housing here is influenced by factors such as community initiatives, regional employment opportunities, and cultural connections inherent to Indigenous populations, which form a substantial part of the demographic.

The residents enjoy a slower pace of life compared to urban counterparts, with an emphasis on cultural heritage and traditions. The region is rich in natural beauty, with access to fishing, bushwalking, and exploring the expansive Cape York Peninsula.

Despite the challenges, the close-knit community and pristine natural environment make Yangarra a special place for those seeking an authentic connection to the land and its people.
