Living in Wantirna: people, income and schools
Wantirna is home to around 14,237 people, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 41, it reads as skewed a little older, and 80% 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 $98,000 a year (about $1,890 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 11.6 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers.
