Suburb profile
Tweed Heads South is a well-connected mid-sized suburb in Tweed Council with everyday amenities close at hand. Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here, with schools and childcare nearby. Families have many nearby school and early-learning options to choose from.
Local parks and tree cover add a welcome outdoor dimension to suburban life. Most routine trips are on foot, while buses cover longer journeys across the metro area. Property sits in a premium price band and is harder to enter for many buyers.
Local crime has been trending higher of late. Infill and new builds are slowly updating the area without overwhelming its existing character.
Against similar metro suburbs, the suburb sits around average overall, mainly because community and employment lag behind, despite relative strength in local dining and lifestyle amenities.

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 (~8,400), extrapolated at +0.4% 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.
