Demographics & Identity in Warburton
Who lives here — how many people, how old they are, and how communities identify.
A population that shrank by 44% since 2011 has left Warburton with a much older feel. The typical resident is now 50 years old, which is far older than the national figure of 38. This shift is most visible in the rise of seniors and the sharp drop in the number of children living here.
