Suburb profile
In Moree Plains Council, Biniguy keeps a rural calm, a smaller community with room to breathe and a strong local rhythm. A younger crowd gives the area energy, with plenty of young families in the mix. Weekends tend to revolve around local favourites: a café, a market run, a walk through town.
With limited local amenities, residents regularly travel to a neighbouring town for shops, appointments and a wider choice. Outdoor life is easy here, with generous parks and room for kids, dogs and weekend strolls. Day-to-day life is more car-oriented here, with buses covering longer trips across the wider area.
Homes are neither a bargain nor a premium buy against the wider market. Reported crime has been falling recently.

Socio-economic
- IRSAD decile (2021)

- IRSD decile (2021)
- 7/10
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.
