Suburb profile

Red Hill is an inner metropolitan suburb of Canberra, in Unincorporated ACT, characterised by heritage streetscapes alongside mixed commercial and residential development.

Local school ICSEA scores are among the highest in the peer group, placing it among the highest-ranked inner metropolitan suburbs. Household incomes are a relative strength, with household incomes 63% above the peer median, and working from home is another area where the suburb performs particularly well, with working from home 26% above the peer median, and reported crime sits a little below the peer median. Reported offences have fallen 54% year on year. Trade-offs centre on thinner mapped green cover within the suburb boundary and thinner park access, with green cover 81% 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 (~3,600), extrapolated at +0.5% 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.
