Suburb profile

Highgate Hill is a mixed commercial-residential suburb of Brisbane, in Brisbane Council, with mainly dense residential and commercial development.

School ICSEA scores are a relative strength. Rents are unusually low against comparable places, with median rents 23% below the peer median. University qualifications are more common than in comparable places, well above typical levels for mixed commercial-residential suburbs, and socio-economic advantage is another of the suburb's defining strengths. The main trade-offs are thinner dining and café options and thinner mapped green cover within the suburb boundary, with dining and cafés 53% below the peer median.

Highgate Hill is a better fit for people who value lower rents and university qualifications.

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 (~7,900), extrapolated at +1.4% 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.
