    Suburb profile

    Beacon Hill is a middle-ring metropolitan suburb of Sydney, in Northern Beaches Council. It is mainly residential, with little in the way of a distinct commercial centre or landmark identity.

    Employment is stronger than in comparable places, with employment 15% above the peer median. Local amenities is an exceptional strength, with local amenities 103% above the peer median. Space is a strength, but car dependence is high, and crime in the wider postcode 2100 remains above typical levels but is improving. Reported offences have fallen 17% year on year. Trade-offs centre on weaker population growth and higher housing costs, with population growth 113% below the peer median.

    Beacon Hill's appeal is better explained by housing, access and location than by a strong standalone precinct or destination.

    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 (~8,300), extrapolated at +0.5% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

    Federal electorate from AEC federal division boundaries (2025 redistribution). Division-level results are official AEC figures from the latest general election, with by-election updates where applicable. The estimated suburb profile blends up to eight nearest ordinary polling booths in the same electorate using inverse-distance weighting from the suburb centroid — an approximation, not official AEC data. Nearest polling places are shown for reference.

    Socio-economic

    IRSAD decile (2021)
    10/10
    IRSD decile (2021)
    10/10

    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.
