Kooroocheang is a smaller community of 41 — 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 $82,316/year is 13% below the Victoria median of $95,160, typically translating into lower entry prices and a tenant base more sensitive to rent increases. Kooroocheang is 99 km from Melbourne, so the local market tracks regional employment and lifestyle drivers more than CBD-driven commuter demand.
