Living in St Arnaud: people, income and schools
St Arnaud has a resident population of roughly 2,318, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 52, it reads as an older, established demographic, and 76% 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 $48,000 a year (about $920 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (5 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 12.2 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Incomes have risen about 31% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
