Suburb profile
Murwillumbah is a regional mid-sized suburb in Tweed Council, oriented around local life rather than the metro orbit of Sydney. The area suits established families and long-term locals, with plenty of young families in the mix. Schooling is a clear local strength compared with many peer areas.
Local shops and services are well covered, which makes the suburb easy to live in day to day. Green space punches above what many regional towns offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. Everyday errands are walkable, and buses keep the wider city within easy reach.
Property sits in a premium price band and is harder to enter for many buyers. Infill and new builds are slowly updating the area without overwhelming its existing character.
Against similar regional towns, local dining and lifestyle amenities, plus growth momentum stand out and the overall desirability rating is good, with community and employment, plus safety less decisive.

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 (~8,050), extrapolated at +0.8% 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.
