Suburb profile

Home Hill is a major regional centre in Queensland, in Burdekin Council, with mainly mixed commercial and residential development. The Burdekin River is part of the surrounding geography.

Local amenities is an exceptional strength, well above typical levels for major regional centres. Everyday destinations are relatively walkable. Rents are unusually low against comparable places, with median rents 39% below the peer median. Reported crime is lower than in most comparable places. Reported offences have fallen 14% year on year. The clearer weaknesses are lower school ICSEA scores and fewer university qualifications, with university qualifications 43% below the peer median.

Home Hill is a better fit for people who value lower rents and lower crime more than school quality.

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 (~2,900), extrapolated at -0.3% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)

IRSD decile (2021)
2/10

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.
