Suburb profile

Wishart is a middle-ring metropolitan suburb of Brisbane, in Brisbane Council, with mainly mixed commercial and residential development.

Public transport is an exceptional strength, with public transport 100% above the peer median. Local school ICSEA scores sit well above the peer median, well above typical levels for middle-ring metropolitan suburbs. Green cover is an exceptional strength, and university qualifications are more common than in comparable places, with university qualifications 21% above the peer median. The clearer weaknesses are higher crime and weaker population growth, with population growth 71% below the peer median.

Wishart is a better fit for people who value school quality and public transport 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 (~11,850), extrapolated at +0.6% 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.
