Caveats
- These are 2021 Census figures, so they are about five years old; incomes, ages and household mix have moved since.
Ranked on median total household income per week from the 2021 Census. Suburbs with fewer than 500 residents, or too little data to rank fairly, are left out. Movement compares each suburb's position since the 2016 Census, among suburbs ranked in both periods. How the rankings are calculated.
