Suburb profile

Bangor is an outer metropolitan suburb of Sydney, in Sutherland Shire Council, with mainly mixed commercial and residential development. It is close to the Georges River and the Woronora River.

Local school ICSEA scores sit well above the peer median, well above typical levels for outer metropolitan suburbs. Reported crime is exceptionally low against comparable places, and green cover is an exceptional strength, and socio-economic advantage sits well above the peer median, and recorded road-crash rates are lower than in comparable places, with recorded road crashes 45% below the peer median. Housing is among the most expensive in its peer group. Median house prices have risen 18% year on year.

Bangor is a better fit for people who value lower crime and socio-economic advantage more than lower housing costs.

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 (~5,350), extrapolated at -0.3% 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.
