Suburb profile

Caringbah is a mixed commercial-residential suburb of Sydney, in Sutherland Shire Council, with mainly dense residential and commercial development. It is close to the Woolooware Bay and the Georges River.

Urban convenience is a major strength, with better access to shops and everyday services than in most comparable places. Health access is an exceptional strength, placing it among the highest-ranked mixed commercial-residential suburbs. Childcare access is an exceptional strength. The main trade-offs are thinner mapped green cover within the suburb boundary and fewer university qualifications, with green cover 71% below the peer median.

Overall, Caringbah suits people prioritising city life and childcare over university qualifications.

ABS Estimated Resident Population allocated to this suburb from SA2-level data. Not an official ABS suburb count.

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 (~15,200), extrapolated at +1.4% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

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.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)
9/10
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.
