Living in Macquarie Park: people, income and schools
Macquarie Park has a resident population of roughly 11,071, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 13% over five years. At a median age of 31, it reads as younger than the national median, with renters making up 66% 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 $98,000 a year (about $1,890 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 15.5 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 32% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
