Camillo
Compact and car dependent, Camillo combines 4,442 residents with a 95.4% separate-house share and a 37 median age. The suburb covers 2.58 square kilometres, with density reaching 1,720.8 people per square kilometre. Compared with nearby Armadale and Kelmscott, Camillo reads as a small established suburb, with 45.5% of dwellings under mortgage and 83.8% of workers driving to work. Its overseas-born share is 32.3%, 10.7 percentage points above the national comparison, while household income sits at the 29.3rd percentile. The mix points to practical family housing, but affordability and access to cars matter because public transport accounts for only 3.9% of commuting.

Camillo suits buyers prioritising conventional family housing over apartment stock. Separate houses account for 95.4% of dwellings, with 61.6% containing 3 bedrooms and 33.2% containing 4 or more, so choice is concentrated in established houses. A current median house price is not available, making recent comparable sales more important than a single suburb figure. A monthly mortgage figure of 1300 sits beside a 23.5% mortgage-to-income ratio, higher than the 21.9% rent-to-income figure. That matters because 45.5% of households carry a mortgage, compared with 27.2% owning outright. Compared with nearby Armadale and Kelmscott, buyers should assess land, renovation needs and school catchments address by address.

For Investors
Rental demand has a mixed starting point. Renting households represent 26.0%, below the 45.5% mortgage share, while weekly rent is 280 and vacancy is 9.5%. That vacancy rate deserves caution because tenants may have more choice, so investors should budget conservatively rather than assume automatic rent growth. Rent growth is 5.4%, and internal migration is the primary forecast driver, which may support turnover over time. No new development activity was recorded over 12 months, reducing near-term supply pressure, but the 95.4% detached-house profile concentrates investment in family-oriented stock. The 1.22% annual forecast trend is above zero, though yield, maintenance and insurance need testing against the purchase price.

Tenure
Camillo's housing stock is unusually detached: 95.4% separate houses, compared with 0.5% apartments and 4.1% semi-detached homes. Three-bedroom dwellings dominate at 61.6%, while 4 or more bedrooms account for 33.2%, supporting family occupancy rather than compact apartment living. Tenure is weighted toward leveraged ownership, with 45.5% paying a mortgage, compared with 27.2% owning outright and 26.0% renting. The 23.5% mortgage-to-income ratio is higher than the 21.9% rent-to-income ratio, but neither stress flag is active. Compared with nearby Armadale and Kelmscott, buyers should treat Camillo as a conventional house market and inspect lot condition. A median house price is not available, so price-to-income analysis should use current sales.

Economy & Employment
Camillo's employment base is led by Healthcare at 18.8% and Retail at 9.2%, with Education at 8.4%, Construction at 7.4% and Manufacturing at 7.3%. Healthcare is more than twice Retail, pointing to a service-heavy local workforce despite strong manual occupations: Trades number 310, Labourers 298 and Machinery/Drivers 269. The unemployment rate is 10.6% and participation is 56.4%, while full-time employment is 61.1%, making household budgets sensitive to job access. SEIFA results are low, with IRSD and IRSAD both in decile 1 and IEO also in decile 1; IER is higher at decile 3. That anomaly indicates economic resources rank above education and occupation, helping explain why household income sits at the 29.3rd percentile despite established employment sectors.

Transport to Work
Daily life is strongly car oriented. Car drivers account for 83.8% of commuting, compared with 3.9% using public transport and 1.2% walking or cycling; only 4.8% work from home. This matters because errands and employment access are likely to depend on vehicle ownership more than local active transport. Three schools serve the immediate area: 2 government primary schools and 1 non-government school, giving families a broader sector mix than a suburb with only one provider. Check enrolment zones against the exact address, since boundaries can cut across suburb lines. Socioeconomic access is constrained, with IRSAD in decile 1 and IEO in decile 1, so transport costs, fees and support services deserve attention. Safety checks should include current local crime information before choosing a property.

Population Forecast

(+85 people/yr)
EstablishedCamillo's growth outlook is moderate rather than explosive: the annual trend is 1.22%, above zero, and internal migration is the primary driver. Population change across the wider area is 10.3% over 10 years, while the shift profile is Aging, with the senior share up 6.7 points and the young share down 1.8. Rent growth is 5.4%, and the affordability trend is Improving, alongside measures of 48.7 in 2011 and 45.6 in 2021. Gentrification signals are mixed: one measure labels the stage Active with a score of 42, while the shift measure records Not gentrifying at 15. That split suggests gradual change shaped by migration and ageing, rather than a single redevelopment story.

What schools are in Camillo?
Camillo has 3 local schools: 2 government primary schools and 1 non-government school. Families should confirm the intake zone and year levels for the exact address, because school boundaries can differ even between nearby streets and may affect daily travel.
Is Camillo safe?
Use current local crime information before buying or renting. Camillo has 4,442 residents across 2.58 square kilometres, giving a density of 1,720.8 people per square kilometre.

How to read these comparisons
Phrases like "above the national average" reference the unweighted median across Australian suburbs with more than 1,000 residents, not population-weighted national figures. Suburb-level medians are more useful for ranking suburbs against each other; ABS census headlines are population-weighted (so dominated by Sydney and Melbourne) and can read very differently.
Current baseline (refreshed 2026-05-10): median age 40, university-educated 30.1%, born overseas 21.6%, average household size 2.5 people.
Data sources: ABS 2021 Census (demographics, income, tenure), state education open registers (school locations), state Crime Statistics agencies (offences), council DA portals (development applications). Population forecasts use a Hamilton-Perry cohort model calibrated to ABS ERP.
