Housing, rent and growth
Housing & rent
ABS Census 2021Median rent is 16% of median household income. Below the 30% stress benchmark
| Measure | Value | vs other VIC suburbs |
|---|---|---|
| Median rent | $290/week | higher than 58% |
| Median household income | $1,815/week | higher than 65% |
| Rent as a share of income | 16% | higher than 42% |
| Median mortgage repayment | $1,600/month | higher than 54% |
| Homes that are rented | 10% | higher than 39% |
| Owned outright | 45% | higher than 55% |
| Social housing | 0% | higher than 35% |
| Average household size | 2.7 people | higher than 72% |
2021 Census figures: rents and incomes have risen since, so compare suburbs rather than reading today's prices. The rent share uses the median rent and the median income of all households (owners included), so it is a guide, not the share any one renter pays. The 30% benchmark is a common convention.
Growth & new homes
ABS Regional Population · Building Approvals| Measure | Value | vs other VIC areas |
|---|---|---|
| Population growth, 5 years 2020–2025 | +1.2% | higher than 39% |
| Population growth, last year 2024–2025 | +0.1% | higher than 17% |
| New homes approved, 12 months 12 months to Aug 2026 | 31 | higher than 37% |
| New homes approved per 1,000 residents 12 months to Aug 2026 | 5.5 | higher than 65% |
ABS publishes these for larger areas: figures are for “Colac Surrounds”, which contains this suburb. Approvals are dwellings approved, not yet built. Growth and new supply are change indicators, not a price forecast.

- States classify offences differently, so ranks compare areas within the same state.
