Suburb profile
Revesby Heights sits up in the Canterbury-Bankstown Council hills, a smaller community where elevation and tree cover define the mood. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with a strong presence of young families throughout. Overseas-born and multilingual households are a noticeable part of the local population.
Education outcomes and school provision stand out relative to comparable suburbs. Pocket parks and green corners give residents room to get outside without leaving the neighbourhood. 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. Crime trends have improved of late compared with the previous period.
The overall desirability read is around average, pulled by softer local dining and lifestyle amenities compared with similar metro suburbs, though community and employment remain brighter spots. Limited access to some essential local services also trimmed the result.

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 (~2,700), extrapolated at +1.3% 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.
