Suburb profile
Burraneer is a practical mid-sized suburb in Sutherland Shire Council, well placed for families who want metro access without the inner-city squeeze. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with plenty of young families in the mix. Local schools rate highly against similar suburbs.
Outdoor life is easy here, with generous parks and room for kids, dogs and weekend strolls. Getting around is straightforward, with buses tying neighbouring communities together. Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs.
Reported crime has been rising recently. Infill and new builds are slowly updating the area without overwhelming its existing character.
Desirability lands around average here: softer local dining and lifestyle amenities weighing on the result versus similar metro suburbs, even with 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 (~4,450), extrapolated at +1.6% 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.
