Aubin Grove's population of 6,786 sits 21% above the Western Australia suburb median of 5,605, giving it a wider tenant and buyer catchment than the average WA locality. Median household income of $129,480/year runs 30% above the Western Australia suburb median of $99,736, indicating strong purchasing power and the type of demographic profile that tends to sustain premium property prices through market cycles.
