Living in Putney: people, income and schools
Putney is home to around 4,097 people, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 7% over five years. At a median age of 44, it reads as skewed a little older, and 84% 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 $159,000 a year (about $3,050 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (9 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 22.1 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 33% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
