Suburb profile
Teneriffe is a lively inner mid-sized suburb with dining, shopping and leisure options right on the doorstep. Working households and growing families are the backbone of local life, with schools and childcare nearby. Local schools rate highly against similar suburbs.
Fitness and outdoor sport options are a real part of local life, not just a distant club trip away. There is enough green space nearby for walks, picnics and after-school play. Daily life works well on foot, with buses also serving the suburb.
Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs. Period homes and older streetscapes are part of the appeal, with heritage detail still visible throughout.
Desirability lands around average here: softer safety weighing on the result versus similar metro suburbs, even with community and employment holding up better.

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 (~9,700), extrapolated at +6.9% 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.
