Suburb profile
Renown Park is a practical smaller community in Charles Sturt Council, well placed for families who want metro access without the inner-city squeeze. Sitting close to the city centre, it is easy to dip into neighbouring suburbs for work, dining and events. Working households and growing families are the backbone of local life, with a strong presence of young families throughout.
This is a strongly multicultural suburb: overseas-born and multilingual households make up much of the community. Dining is thinner on the ground than in busier metro pockets, so many residents head to neighbouring suburbs for a night out. Day-to-day life is more car-oriented here, with buses covering longer trips across the wider area.
Housing is expensive relative to much of the state. An emerging neighbourhood feel is building here, with new households gradually reshaping local life.
Desirability lands below average here: softer community and employment, plus safety weighing on the result versus similar metro suburbs, even with growth momentum holding up better. 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 (~1,900), extrapolated at +1.3% 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.
