Living in Barragup: people, income and schools
About 940 people live in Barragup, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 19% over five years. At a median age of 45, it reads as skewed a little older, and 86% 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 $110,000 a year (about $2,110 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (2 out of 10).
