Suburb profile
Enmore hums with inner-city energy, a mid-sized suburb where there is always something happening nearby. Residents are mostly families and working professionals, with schools and childcare nearby. The suburb has a clear multicultural mix alongside longer-term local households.
Education outcomes and school provision stand out relative to comparable suburbs. Local green pockets are modest, with bigger outdoor outings usually found in neighbouring areas. Daily life works well on foot, with buses also serving the suburb.
Housing is expensive relative to much of the state. A trickle of new development is refreshing selected pockets without changing the overall feel.
Desirability lands around average here: softer growth momentum, plus parks and green space weighing on the result versus similar metro suburbs, even with community and employment, plus local dining and lifestyle amenities holding up better.

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 (~4,100), extrapolated at +0.4% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Federal electorate from AEC federal division boundaries (2025 redistribution). 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.

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.
