Suburb profile
In Charles Sturt Council, Beverley is a settled smaller community with a familiar suburban feel and good links to the wider city. Sitting close to the city centre, it is easy to dip into neighbouring suburbs for work, dining and events. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with family life visible on every street.
The suburb has a clear multicultural mix alongside longer-term local households. Neighbourhood food and coffee spots add warmth to the local routine. A car helps for most daily errands, though buses still link the suburb further afield.
Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs. Infill and new builds are slowly updating the area without overwhelming its existing character.
Against similar metro suburbs, the suburb sits below average overall, mainly because parks and green space, plus safety lag behind, despite relative strength in schools and education. Limited access to some essential local services also trimmed the result.

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 (~2,000), extrapolated at +2.0% 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.
