Current median sale price $672,000 (Oct–Dec 2025) · SEIFA decile 7/10 — an HR Manager on the median salary rates it a "Stretch" fit.
New estates and staged land releases define this part of Melbourne's outer west, and the family-fit scorecard reflects that: growth outlook and schools carry the strongest marks, while health services is the clear soft spot, which matters more for households with ongoing appointments than for those who rarely see a specialist. Entry costs sit modestly below both the state and national middle, and the socio-economic ranking lands the area mid-pack rather than at either extreme. The published figure is specific to the suburb and reflects standalone homes, so buyers looking at attached dwellings will find a lower bar.

The ATO doesn't publish suburb-level figures — postcode 3029 covers 3 suburbs, including Truganina. A low figure often reflects large deductions or business/rental losses, not low earnings. See the full postcode breakdown.
About these figures: median sale price is from the Victorian Property Sales Report (Valuer-General Victoria), Oct–Dec 2025, from 257 sales. Household income and rent are ABS Census 2021; SEIFA decile is the official ABS SEIFA 2021 IRSAD ranking. Average individual taxable income is an annual figure from the ATO's Taxation Statistics (Table 6B, 2022-23), a postcode-level average of lodged tax returns — a different measure from the ABS weekly household figure above, not a suburb-exact one. Indicative only — not valuation or financial advice.

On the median salary for an HR Manager (with a $100,000 deposit), Truganina rates as a "Stretch" fit against its current median sale price.
Out of 100: budget fit (estimated max purchase price versus the suburb's current median sale price) blended with government-data signals — nearest schools, recorded-offence safety percentile, nearest GP/hospital, population and dwelling-approval growth and the official ABS SEIFA decile. Affordability always counts for at least ~35% of the score, and any signal without data for this state is left out honestly rather than guessed.
