Income in Ross
What people and households earn each week, and how incomes are spread.
Weekly family incomes of just $955 mean that Ross is one of the lowest earning areas in the region. Most people here live on a tight budget, with typical earnings falling across the board since 2011. This financial pressure is felt by almost everyone, as the vast majority of residents earn well below the state and national figures.
