Suburb profile

South Brisbane is a central city district of Brisbane, where heritage listings sit alongside dense residential and commercial development. Notable landmarks include Coronation Hotel, St Mary's Catholic Church and St Andrews Anglican Church.

Access to jobs, services and transport is where the suburb performs particularly well, with better access to shops and everyday services than in most comparable places. Health access is an exceptional strength, placing it among the highest-ranked metropolitan suburbs. The suburb has an unusually high concentration of heritage listings. The clearer weaknesses are higher crime and relatively limited childcare access, with childcare access 50% below the peer median.

South Brisbane is a better fit for people who value city life and health access more than peace and quiet.

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 (~26,500), extrapolated at +8.1% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)
10/10
IRSD decile (2021)
6/10

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.
