Income in Westmere

What people and households earn each week, and how incomes are spread.

A typical weekly personal income of $1,125 puts Westmere well above the national figure. While individual earnings are high, the area lacks the top-tier high earners found in other parts of Victoria. This creates a unique mix where many people earn a good amount, but few reach the highest brackets.
