Our verdict
A reasonable fit for a balanced focusEvery figure on Golden Beach's page comes from free, public government data — no scraped listings. Some datasets carry a reporting lag (e.g. Census is 2021, ABS releases settle a quarter behind), so read them as a considered starting point, not live quotes.

Golden Beach 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 Golden Beach” 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.
Median sale price by property type and size, 2025; the chart shows the yearly median trend. Yield is gross rental yield.
Sale activity, 2025. Fewer sales and longer days on market usually mean more room to negotiate.
The figures behind the Suburb Score — median, growth and yield are house-level (or blended across dwelling types), so match them to what you're targeting. Rental vacancy (2025) — under ~2% is a tight market.
