Suburb profile

Paddington is an inner metropolitan suburb of Brisbane, in Brisbane Council, where heritage listings sit alongside mixed commercial and residential development. Notable landmarks include Foresters' Hall, RSL Hall Rosalie and Ithaca War Memorial and Park.

Shops and everyday services are easier to access than in most comparable places. Health access is an exceptional strength, placing it among the highest-ranked inner metropolitan suburbs. School access is exceptionally strong, with school access 75% above the peer median. University qualifications are among the highest in the peer group, with university qualifications 20% above the peer median. Trade-offs centre on thinner mapped green cover within the suburb boundary and higher rents, with green cover 83% below the peer median.

Paddington is a better fit for people who value school access and university qualifications more than lower rents.

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 (~10,950), extrapolated at +1.6% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)
10/10
IRSD decile (2021)
10/10

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.
