Suburb profile

Amaroo is a middle-ring metropolitan suburb of Canberra, in Unincorporated ACT, characterised by heritage listings alongside mixed commercial and residential development. Notable landmarks include Palmer Trigonometrical Station.

The suburb is highly walkable compared with similar places, placing it among the highest-ranked middle-ring metropolitan suburbs. Dining and café access is an exceptional strength. Socio-economic advantage sits well above the peer median. Crime remains above typical levels but is improving. Reported offences have fallen 46% year on year. The main trade-offs are more mapped flood cover and limited health access, with health access 33% below the peer median.

ABS Estimated Resident Population allocated to this suburb from SA2-level data. Not an official ABS suburb count.

Methodology

Figures are allocated from ABS Estimated Resident Population at Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), using 2021 Census share within overlapping SA2 regions. Where Census data is unavailable, area overlap is used instead.

The dashed chart line is a simple growth-trend estimate to June 2030 (~6,500), extrapolated at +0.7% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

ABS Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), 2021 release — the latest available, derived from the 2021 Census. Deciles rank suburbs nationally from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).

What do IRSAD and IRSD measure?

IRSAD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage. Combines indicators of advantage (e.g. high income, skilled occupations) and disadvantage. Higher decile = more advantaged relative to other Australian areas.

IRSD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage. Focuses on disadvantage only (e.g. low income, unemployment, limited education). Higher decile = less disadvantage nationally.

A new SEIFA edition typically follows each census; the ABS has not announced a release date beyond 2021.
