A fast-filling new growth area — capital growth is still building from a small base.
Balanced rental market — neither tight nor oversupplied.
New approvals are running below local demand — a supply gap that supports prices and rents.
Kooyong 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.
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.
The report goes the next mile — your numbers run on the Kooyong median, tuned to your goal, in one document to take to inspections.
Weak fundamentals for a balanced focus — 28/100.
Our verdict
Hard to justify for a balanced focusEvery figure on Kooyong'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.
