This suburb is too small to rate.

Median House Price
Public listings dataWingfield's house market is moving lower: the median sale price reached $852,000, roughly 18% below where it sat a year earlier. That said, only six sales settled in the quarter, so the median is a noisy signal — treat it as a direction rather than a level.

Serious Road Crashes
2021–202521 crashes
where someone was killed or admitted to hospital, 2 of them fatal
Crashes are counted where they happened, so a main road through the suburb carries people passing through; this is not a measure of risk to residents. This state’s crash data does not name the road.
Schools
Universities nearby
3.6% of residents here are full-time university students aged 15–24.
Distance is measured to the suburb centre. A campus nearby does not by itself mean a student rental market — most suburbs within a few kilometres of one have a student share close to the national norm, and the figure above is what tells them apart.
Walkability
Wingfield is very car-dependent on foot — at 0/100, nearly all errands require a car.
We hold no public transport timetable data for this area, so public transport is not rated here and the score is spread across the remaining components. It is not counted as zero.
