Suburb profile

In Campbelltown Council, Menangle Park is a settled smaller community with a familiar suburban feel and good links to the wider city. Well placed between the city and outer suburbs, it offers practical access in every direction. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with plenty of young families in the mix.

Local eateries and coffee spots give the area a friendly, everyday social rhythm. Parks and open space are a real strength relative to many metro suburbs, easy for walks, sport and weekend downtime. Buses and trains connect the area to surrounding suburbs, keeping the wider city within easy reach.

Housing is expensive relative to much of the state. Active development is adding new homes and refreshed pockets throughout the suburb.

Desirability lands below average here: softer community and employment weighing on the result versus similar metro suburbs, even with growth momentum, plus schools and education holding up better. Limited access to some essential local services also trimmed the result.

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 (~250), extrapolated at +0.6% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

IRSD decile (2021)
3/10

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.
