- Excellent transport
- High desirability
Suburb profile
In Byron Council, Binna Burra keeps a rural calm, a smaller community with room to breathe and a strong local rhythm. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with a strong presence of young families throughout. Life here is grounded in local routine rather than big-city choice.
Local green pockets are modest, with bigger outdoor outings usually found in neighbouring areas. Strong connections via buses keep the wider area accessible. Housing is expensive relative to much of the state.
Crime trends have improved of late compared with the previous period. An emerging neighbourhood feel is building here, with new households gradually reshaping local life.
Desirability lands below average here: softer local dining and lifestyle amenities weighing on the result versus similar regional towns, even with growth momentum, plus community and employment holding up better. Limited access to some essential local services also trimmed the result.

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 (~250), extrapolated at +2.3% 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.
