Living in Bungalow: people, income and schools
Bungalow is home to around 2,358 people, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 38, it reads as broadly working-age, with renters making up 59% of households. A renter base that size keeps demand for well-priced rentals fairly consistent, though rents do most of the work on the return.
The typical household income runs to around $58,000 a year (about $1,120 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (5 out of 10).
