Suburb profile
Maryville is a well-connected smaller community in Newcastle Council with everyday amenities close at hand. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with a strong presence of young families throughout. Local schools rate highly against similar suburbs.
Local shops and services cover the basics well, with more choice a short trip into neighbouring suburbs. Day-to-day life is more car-oriented here, with buses covering longer trips across the wider area. Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs.
Crime reports are up on the previous period. Occasional new builds add variety while most of the suburb keeps its established look.
Against similar metro suburbs, the suburb sits below average overall, mainly because parks and green space, plus local dining and lifestyle amenities lag behind, despite relative strength in community and employment, plus growth momentum. 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 (~2,450), extrapolated at +1.8% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

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.
