Living in Austinmer: people, income and schools
Austinmer is home to around 2,725 people, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 42, it reads as skewed a little older, and 79% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.

On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (10 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index).
