Living in East Killara: people, income and schools
East Killara has a resident population of roughly 2,895, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 43, 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 $156,000 a year (about $3,010 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (10 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 22.4 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 31% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
