Suburb profile
Peakhurst Heights is a hillside mid-sized suburb in Georges River Council, with elevated streets and a greener, quieter pace. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with family life visible on every street. Overseas-born and multilingual households are a noticeable part of the local population.
Education outcomes and school provision stand out relative to comparable suburbs. Local parks and tree cover add a welcome outdoor dimension to suburban life. Getting around is straightforward, with buses tying neighbouring communities together.
Property sits in a premium price band and is harder to enter for many buyers. Reported crime has been rising recently.
Against similar metro suburbs, the suburb sits around average overall, mainly because local dining and lifestyle amenities lag behind, despite relative strength in community and employment, plus growth momentum.

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 (~2,600), extrapolated at +1.0% 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.
