Suburb profile
In Blacktown Council, Tallawong is a settled mid-sized suburb with a familiar suburban feel and good links to the wider city. The community skews younger, with family life visible on every street. This is a strongly multicultural suburb: overseas-born and multilingual households make up much of the community.
Schooling is a clear local strength compared with many peer areas. Local parks and tree cover add a welcome outdoor dimension to suburban life. Getting around is straightforward, with buses tying neighbouring communities together.
Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs. Light infill development is updating a few streets while the wider area stays largely unchanged.
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 safety. 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 (~33,500), extrapolated at +21.9% 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.
