Suburb profile
In Campbelltown Council, Hectorville is a settled mid-sized suburb with a familiar suburban feel and good links to the wider city. Residents are mostly families and working professionals, with a strong presence of young families throughout. A large share of residents were born overseas, and languages other than English are widely spoken at home.
Pocket parks and green corners give residents room to get outside without leaving the neighbourhood. Buses make it easy to move between neighbouring suburbs without relying on the car. Housing is expensive relative to much of the state.
Crime reports are up on the previous period. Construction and infill projects are noticeably reshaping parts of the area.
Against similar metro suburbs, the suburb sits around average overall, mainly because local dining and lifestyle amenities lag behind, despite relative strength in growth momentum, plus schools and education.

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 (~5,150), extrapolated at +1.5% 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.
