Bullioh is a smaller community of 63 — about 1% of the Victoria suburb median (7,416) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. Household income of $75,816/year is 20% below the Victoria median of $95,160, typically translating into lower entry prices and a tenant base more sensitive to rent increases. Median rent of $250/week (~$1,083/month) covers only 66% of the median mortgage of $1,641/month — the remaining $558/month must be funded from other income, so this suburb tilts toward capital growth rather than yield. Bullioh is 281 km from Melbourne, so the local market tracks regional employment and lifestyle drivers more than CBD-driven commuter demand. Separate houses make up 94% of dwellings — 16 percentage points above the Victoria median of 78% — pointing to a family-oriented, land-rich market where value is concentrated in the underlying block.

Limited buy-and-hold upside: a small population of 63 means liquidity is thin and capital growth tends to lag the wider Victoria market over full cycles.
Moderate rental coverage: rent of $250/week covers 66% of a $1,641/month mortgage, leaving a $558/month gap that an investor bridges with equity, depreciation and tax benefits.
With 94% houses in a 63-person market, renovation margins depend on individual street and aspect rather than any suburb-wide story — do comparable-sales analysis before committing capital.

Bullioh scores 37/100 on our EquitySight investment framework — a weak rating. That score is driven by a population of 63, median household income of $75,816/year and median weekly rent of $250. Whether it fits your portfolio depends on whether you are targeting cash flow, capital growth, or a value-add renovation — all three are scored with suburb-specific numbers elsewhere on this page.

Bullioh has a usual resident population of approximately 63, compared with a Victoria suburb median of 7,416 — placing it in the lower half of the state's suburbs by size. Population is the clearest proxy for market depth: more residents mean more transactions and typically a shorter average days-on-market on resale.
Bullioh sits 281 km straight-line from the Melbourne CBD. This is a regional market where CBD distance is only indicative — local industry diversity and commute alternatives matter more.
The most recent census recorded a median weekly rent of $250 in Bullioh, equating to approximately $13,000/year in gross rental income (state median $380/week).

The median monthly mortgage repayment in Bullioh is $1,641, or approximately $19,692/year (vs $1,950/month state median). Stress-test your own borrowing at rates 1–2 percentage points above today's to make sure you can still service the loan through an RBA tightening cycle.
A median weekly rent of $250 works out to $1,083/month, covering 66% of the median mortgage repayment of $1,641/month. That leaves a $558/month shortfall (around $6,696/year before tax benefits), so a typical owner-occupier-priced property here is negatively geared. Actual cash flow depends on your deposit, loan terms, ownership costs and marginal tax rate — run the full numbers in our rental yield calculator.
The main risks are a thin buyer pool (63 residents), interest-rate sensitivity on the $1,641 median mortgage, below-median household incomes ($75,816 vs $95,160 state median), the broader Victoria market cycle. Each of these is covered in the Risk Factors section above with suburb-specific numbers rather than generic warnings.
