Suburb profile
Keiraville is a well-connected mid-sized suburb in Wollongong Council with everyday amenities close at hand. Young professionals and new households shape much of the local mix, with family-friendly schooling within easy reach. There is a dense cluster of schools and early-learning options nearby.
Local shops and services cover the basics well, with more choice a short trip into neighbouring suburbs. Parks and open space are a real strength relative to many metro suburbs, easy for walks, sport and weekend downtime. Most routine trips are on foot, while buses cover longer journeys across the metro area.
Housing is expensive relative to much of the state. The suburb still has an emerging character, as newer residents settle in and local identity forms.
Growth momentum, plus community and employment push the suburb to a good desirability read, even as safety look more ordinary among similar metro suburbs.

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 (~4,550), extrapolated at +0.9% 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.
