| The Stable Suburbs group includes a large number of established mature families, many nearing
“empty nest” status. They tend to own their homes, which have medium to high property values, and
they have generally lived there for many years. Some segments within the Stable Suburbs group
have a varied ethnic background. Household income levels spread over a wide range and education levels vary from tertiary degrees to vocational qualifications.
Some neighborhoods in Stable Suburbs would have been on the fringe of metropolitan areas, but expansion has seen the metropolitan areas come to their doorstep. Stable Suburbs have above average demand for real estate mortgages, with hire purchase and continuing credit also in demand. The credit risk profile is below the average with a significant proportion being very low. Further segmentation is available in this group:
