ABS 2021 Census of Population and Housing, tenure of occupied private dwellings, Richmond (SAL). These are all homes in the suburb, not Doorstep members.

A mixed suburb

43 in every 100 homes in Richmond are owner-occupied, below 68 across Victoria, so the owners on your street are harder to pick out. Doorstep is made for exactly them.

Units, townhouses and terraces

Only 25% of Richmond's owner-occupied homes are separate houses, so most owners here share a wall, a driveway or a body corporate. Your neighbours are literally next door, and it helps to know them.

A young suburb

Median age 34. Richmond skews younger: first homes, first renovations, and a lot of people still working out who's who on the street.
