Suburb profile

Spring Hill is a central city district of Brisbane, where heritage streetscapes sit alongside dense residential and commercial development. Notable landmarks include St Pauls Presbyterian Church, St Pauls Presbyterian Church Hall and St Andrews War Memorial Hospital Administration Building.

Convenience is one of the suburb's strongest attributes, with better access to shops and everyday services than in most comparable places. School access is exceptionally strong, placing it among the highest-ranked metropolitan suburbs. Population growth is an exceptional strength. The clearer weaknesses are higher crime and thinner park access, with park access 57% below the peer median.

Overall, the suburb suits people prioritising city life and school access over 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 (~11,600), extrapolated at +3.3% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)
9/10
IRSD decile (2021)
5/10

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.
