NSW 2172 Census 2021 + Live DA Data

Voyager Point

Household income at the 98.1st percentile nationally places Voyager Point among Australia's wealthiest pockets by earnings, yet the suburb spans just 1.73 km2 with only 1,678 residents. The median house price reached $1,605,000 and 80.6% of homes have four or more bedrooms, making it one of NSW's most family-oriented premium enclaves. University qualifications at 48.6% run 18.5 points above the national figure, and the average household carries 3.3 people compared to the national 2.5. The dominant tenure signal is mortgaged ownership at 47%, reflecting a working professional base still building equity rather than inherited wealth sitting outright.

At $1,605,000, the median house price requires serious capital, but mortgage-to-income sits at 18.7%, comfortably below the 30% stress threshold despite a high absolute figure, because household incomes rank in the 98.1st percentile nationally. The stock is overwhelmingly detached houses at 93.3% of dwellings, with 80.6% of homes having four or more bedrooms. That large-lot, family-scale character means buyers face limited competition from apartments (just 0.6% of stock). Price data shows a move from $1,725,000 in 2024 to $1,525,000 in 2025, an 11.6% correction from peak, which could present an entry point for buyers who believe the suburb's income fundamentals are intact.

For Investors

Voyager Point presents a challenging yield profile. Weekly rent of $325 against a $1,605,000 median implies a gross yield near 1.1%, well below what most investors target. The renter share is low at 20.7%, consistent with the owner-occupier character of the suburb, and vacancy sits at 2.3%, within the normal range but not tight enough to signal strong rental demand. Development activity is modest at 5 applications in 12 months, including a secondary dwelling approval, so new supply is not a near-term concern. The investment case rests on capital growth rather than income. Household incomes in the 98.1st percentile and 84.4% of residents who stayed in the same address the prior year signal stability, though the 11.6% price decline from 2024 to 2025 is a near-term headwind.

Demographics

The median age of 37 is 3 years below the national figure, unusual for a premium suburb and explained by the high share of families with children: couples with children make up 683 of 1,600 families. University qualifications at 48.6% sit 18.5 points above national, and the overseas-born share of 32.7% is 11.1 points above national. Ancestry leans English (348) and Irish (115), but Indian ancestry (174) and a cluster of Hindi, Malayalam and Arabic speakers signal a growing South Asian and Middle Eastern presence. Average household size of 3.3, which is 0.8 above the national average, reinforces the family-formation character. Hinduism (130 residents) is the second religious group behind Christianity (1,019).

Separate houses account for 93.3% of dwellings, the dominant form by far compared to the NSW average. Four-or-more bedroom homes represent 80.6% of stock, three-bedroom just 18%, and apartments a negligible 0.6%. Tenure splits into 32.3% owned outright, 47% on a mortgage and 20.7% renting. The high mortgage share relative to outright ownership suggests a suburb where residents are still in the wealth-building phase rather than retirement-age holders. Monthly mortgage repayments average $2,600. Prices fell from $1,725,000 in 2024 to $1,525,000 in 2025, an 11.6% decline from peak, reversing earlier gains in this price bracket. At a 2.3% vacancy rate the rental market is balanced rather than tight.

Economy & Employment

Public Administration is the largest employing industry at 18.2% (125 workers), followed by Healthcare at 13.5% and Education at 11.9%. Professional/Technical services add 9.2% and Finance 7.8%, together giving the suburb a public-sector and knowledge-economy bias. By occupation, Professionals (271) and Managers (149) lead, with Clerical/Admin (154) reflecting the public admin concentration. Full-time employment runs at 72.2%, above most Sydney suburbs, and unemployment is 4.2%. Weekly household income of $3,205 ranks at the 98.1st percentile nationally, meaning almost no suburb in Australia earns more on aggregate. Participation at 59.9% is moderate, partly because 362 residents are not in the labour force in a suburb where many may be stay-at-home parents given average household size of 3.3.

Transport to Work

Car dependence is high at 89.2% of commuters driving, with public transport used by only 4.5%, consistent with a low-density suburb that sits away from heavy rail corridors. Schools are not recorded within the suburb boundary, so families rely on surrounding catchments. Volunteering at 15.3% is a social cohesion indicator above many comparable suburbs. Rent-to-income at 10.1% is well below the 30% stress threshold nationally, and mortgage-to-income at 18.7% is also below stress levels, suggesting residents are not financially stretched despite high absolute housing costs. Only 2.9% of residents (48 people) need daily assistance, which is low. The family-scale housing stock, low density at 970 per km2, and very high household incomes create a comfortable but car-reliant living environment compared to inner-city suburbs.

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 Valuer-General (house prices), Department of Jobs SALM (unemployment), ACARA (school ICSEA), state Crime Statistics agencies (offences), council DA portals (development applications). Population forecasts use a Hamilton-Perry cohort model calibrated to ABS ERP.
