The people
Who lives in Livingstone.
Population · ABS estimates
43,668
People (2025)
+2.2%
Growth per year, last 5 years
Growing faster than most of the country. People arriving is the rawest form of housing demand.
Households · Census 2021
43
Median age
$1,625
Median household income per week
74% own or are paying off their home, 21% rent. An owner-occupier market at heart, which tends to steady prices through the cycle.
New supply
What's being approved to build.
Building approvals are tomorrow's supply. A market where approvals are falling while population grows is a market where pressure builds. The reverse deserves caution.
Dwellings approved · ABS
238 of the latest year's approvals were houses. Approvals are trending up: more supply is coming.
Jobs and investment
Who's working, and what's being spent.
Jobs pay mortgages and rents. Government and commercial building spend is where future jobs come from: schools, hospitals, shops and factories all get approved before they get built.
Jobs · SALM, March 2026
21,939
Employed residents

Unemployment (national 4.2%)
1,953 more residents are in work than five years ago (+9.8%). Steady jobs growth, in line with a healthy regional economy.

Want the full workup on Livingstone?
This page is the public data. The full report is the licensed feed: 10 years of prices, rents and vacancy over time, days on market, demand, and the supply pipeline, for Livingstone or any suburb in it. Same data we run for clients. I pull it and email it through, usually within a business day. No charge, and no 14-part email sequence after it.
General information only, not financial or investment advice. Cycle positions and projections are modelled LGA-level figures to July 2026 (licensed market analytics). Population and approvals are ABS estimates; employment is SALM smoothed data; income, age and tenure are Census 2021. None of it can see street quality, flood maps, zoning or the contract, which is where deals are actually won and lost. Get advice on your own situation before acting.
Data finds the area. It doesn't buy the house.
We narrow 15,000 suburbs to the top 5 for each client, then find the street and the property. If Livingstone is on your list, that's a conversation worth having early.
