Demographics in Alexandria (2015)

Who lives in Alexandria? The demographic profile below draws on ABS Census data to describe the population in terms of age structure, household types, income distribution, and housing tenure. For buyers, the most actionable signals are the proportion of owner-occupiers (which tends to correlate with property maintenance and community stability) and the median household income (which sets an upper bound on sustainable rent levels).

The proportion of renters in Alexandria reflects both the housing type mix (units and smaller dwellings attract renters) and the economic accessibility of the suburb. A high renter proportion is normal and positive for investors; it can also indicate a younger, more transient population, which affects the character of the area and the tenant pool. Owner-occupier-dominated suburbs tend to have more stable communities and better-maintained streetscapes.
