Suburb profile

Inverell is a major regional centre in New South Wales, in Inverell Council, with mainly mixed commercial and residential development. The Macintyre River is part of the surrounding geography.

Shops and everyday services are easier to access than in most comparable places. Health access is an exceptional strength, well above typical levels for major regional centres. Housing is unusually affordable against comparable places. Median house prices have risen 24% year on year. Crime in the wider postcode 2360 remains above typical levels but is improving. Reported offences have fallen 15% year on year. Trade-offs centre on lower school ICSEA scores and thinner mapped green cover within the suburb boundary, with green cover 86% below the peer median.

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 (~12,650), extrapolated at +0.4% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)

IRSD decile (2021)
2/10

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.
