Our verdict

Elphinstone is an emerging growth-area suburb — its resident base is still small and filling in fast, so a percentage off that tiny base overstates the trend. Read it as a new area being built out, not a precise growth rate.
Population figures are blended from this area's ABS SA2 statistical areas — area estimates. Suburb-exact demographics are in “Who lives in Elphinstone” below.
Median household income is gross, before tax. Affordability is median rent/mortgage against the suburb's median household income — a comparative guide, not a household-level stress rate. For a new growth area, the local income is a thin Census sample — read it as indicative.
