Suburb profile
Narrabeen is a coastal established suburb where beach life and relaxed outdoor living shape the local character. Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here, with family-friendly schooling within easy reach. Schooling is a clear local strength compared with many peer areas.
Local eateries and coffee spots give the area a friendly, everyday social rhythm. Green space punches above what many coastal suburbs offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. Everyday errands are walkable, and buses keep the wider city within easy reach.
Housing is expensive relative to much of the state. Light infill development is updating a few streets while the wider area stays largely unchanged.
The desirability picture is excellent, powered mainly by community and employment, plus safety relative to similar coastal suburbs.

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 (~8,350), extrapolated at +0.4% 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.
