Housing, rent and growth
Housing & rent
ABS Census 2021Median rent is 21% of median household income. Below the 30% stress benchmark
| Measure | Value | vs other VIC suburbs |
|---|---|---|
| Median rent | $250/week | higher than 46% |
| Median household income | $1,220/week | higher than 24% |
| Rent as a share of income | 21% | higher than 70% |

| Owned outright | 55% | higher than 80% |
| Social housing | 0% | higher than 35% |
| Average household size | 2.4 people | higher than 44% |
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.

ABS publishes these for larger areas: figures are for “Alexandra”, 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.
