Suburb profile
Beaconsfield is a lively inner smaller community with dining, shopping and leisure options right on the doorstep. A younger crowd gives the area energy, with education options woven into the neighbourhood. Overseas-born and multilingual households are a noticeable part of the local population.
Local schools rate highly against similar suburbs. Green space punches above what many metro suburbs offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. Residents can rely on buses for getting around locally and across the city.
Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs. A growing community is gradually adding fresh energy without losing its local identity.
Against similar metro suburbs, the suburb sits around average overall, mainly because safety lag behind, despite relative strength in community and employment, plus growth momentum.

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 (~1,900), extrapolated at +4.8% 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.
