Suburb profile

Vineyard is a well-connected smaller community in Hawkesbury Council with everyday amenities close at hand. The metro area remains accessible without feeling caught up in the inner-city rush. Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here, with families and grandchildren still a visible part of community life.

Dining is thinner on the ground than in busier metro pockets, so many residents head to neighbouring suburbs for a night out. Buses and trains make commuting and cross-suburb trips straightforward. Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs.

Steady development is bringing new homes and gradual renewal to parts of the suburb.

The desirability picture is below average, weighed down by softer parks and green space, plus community and employment relative to similar metro suburbs. Limited access to some essential local services also trimmed the result.

ABS Estimated Resident Population allocated to this suburb from SA2-level data. Not an official ABS suburb count.

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 (~1,450), extrapolated at +3.0% 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.
