Suburb profile
At the heart of the metro area, Potts Point is a mid-sized suburb where cafés, culture and everyday convenience overlap. Working households and growing families are the backbone of local life, with education options woven into the neighbourhood. Most local households sit in a multicultural mix, with overseas-born residents and languages other than English common at home.
Education outcomes and school provision stand out relative to comparable suburbs. Open space is thinner than in many metro suburbs, so residents often travel a little further for a longer park day. Daily life works well on foot, with buses and trains also serving the suburb.
Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs. Reported crime has been falling recently.
The desirability picture is good, powered mainly by community and employment, plus growth momentum relative to similar metro suburbs.

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 (~7,450), extrapolated at +0.1% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

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.
