Suburb profile

Peak Hill is a rural locality in New South Wales, in Parkes Council.

Open-space access is exceptionally strong, placing it among the highest-ranked rural localities. Green cover is a relative strength. The clearer weaknesses are lower school ICSEA scores and lower socio-economic advantage.

Figures are residents’ main job in the week before Census night — not jobs located in the suburb.

Plant and animal cultivation in postcode 2869 (Regional Australia) may count as specified work for Working Holiday Maker visas (subclasses 417 and 462).

Federal electorate from AEC federal division boundaries (2025 redistribution). Division-level results are official AEC figures from the latest general election, with by-election updates where applicable. 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. Nearest polling places are shown for reference.

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.
