Living in Barfold: people, income and schools
Barfold is home to around 82 people, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 50, it reads as an older, established demographic, and 87% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
The typical household income runs to around $86,000 a year (about $1,660 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (6 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 12.3 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Incomes have risen about 26% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
