Apartments, townhouses and houses side by side

Doncaster's occupied homes lean away from the separate house. Alongside the 27% of occupied homes that are flats or apartments, 20% are townhouses, terraces or semi-detached houses, above the 14% across VIC. Separate houses make up 53%, below the 73% across VIC. The figures suggest that apartment buildings and attached homes sit beside separate houses here more than in Victoria overall.

Bedroom counts sit at both ends. 30% of homes have two bedrooms or fewer, above the 25% across VIC, and 35% have four or more, above the state's 33%. Three-bedroom homes come to 34%, below the 42% across VIC. On Census night, 13% of private dwellings in Doncaster were unoccupied, above the 11% across VIC.

Victoria, the same way: 73 houses, 12 flats, 29 rented.

Where rent meets income in Doncaster

Worked out on this page from two medians, Doncaster's median weekly rent equals 28% of the median weekly income of all its households, above the 21% across VIC. That share is not what any renter pays. The medians themselves are a rent of $450 a week, above the $370 across VIC, and a household income of $1,592 a week, below the state's $1,759.

30% of households in Doncaster rent, above the 29% across VIC, and 81% of renting households rent from a landlord the ABS records as a real estate agent, against 73% across VIC. Ownership splits differently from the state: 37% of households own their home outright (32% across VIC), above it, while 27% are paying off a mortgage (36% across VIC), below it. The median mortgage repayment is $2,167 a month, above the state's $1,859.

Doncaster's residents and their addresses

25,020 people lived in the suburb of Doncaster at the 2021 Census. The median age is 40 years, above the 38 across VIC, suggesting an older population at the middle of the range. An average household holds 2.4 people, below the 2.5 across VIC, which suggests fewer people sharing each home than across the state.

In answer to one 2021 question about where they lived in 2016, 49% of people aged five and over in Doncaster gave the same address, below the 54% across VIC. The figure suggests a smaller share of people aged five and over in Doncaster at the same address in 2021 as in 2016 than across Victoria as a whole.
