Teluk Intan, Tapah and South Perak area guide

About South Perak

Teluk Intan is the main town of Hilir Perak. The Perak rulers held court there from 1528 until 1877. Known as Teluk Anson from 1882, it took the name Teluk Intan in 1982. The town sits on a bend of the Perak River.

Tapah is the seat of Batang Padang district and a gateway to Cameron Highlands. Tanjung Malim, in Muallim district, lies on the Bernam River at the Selangor border and has the UPSI campus and Proton City.

Household income

This zone uses four whole DOSM districts. The 2024 median household income was RM 4,856 in Muallim (Tanjung Malim), RM 4,347 in Hilir Perak (Teluk Intan), RM 4,339 in Batang Padang (Tapah) and RM 4,134 in Bagan Datuk.

Hilir Perak is the largest, with about 141,800 people in 2024. The Perak median was RM 4,687.

House prices per square foot

Across all NAPIC sales in the four districts, a 1-storey terrace had a 2024 median of RM 240,000 (893 sales), and a 2-storey terrace RM 373,000. In Hilir Perak alone, a 1-storey terrace sold for a median of RM 250,000.

Condo sales are almost absent: 19 in 2024 at a median of RM 239 psf. 19 of the 19 sales were at Apartment Damiana, so read it as that project more than the whole area.
