Suburb profile

Devonport sits in Devonport Council as a regional established suburb that feels self-contained and a long way from big-city bustle. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with plenty of young families in the mix. School and preschool provision is plentiful within the local area.

Parks and open space are a real strength relative to many regional towns, easy for walks, sport and weekend downtime. Everyday errands are walkable, and buses keep the wider city within easy reach. Homes are relatively cheap compared with the wider market, which keeps entry costs lower.

Crime trends have improved of late compared with the previous period. The built character feels historic and distinctive, with heritage detail visible throughout.

The desirability picture is excellent, powered mainly by community and employment relative to similar regional towns.

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 (~14,900), extrapolated at +0.0% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Federal electorate from AEC federal division boundaries (2025 redistribution). Division-level results are official AEC figures from the latest general election, with by-election updates where applicable. The estimated suburb profile blends up to eight nearest ordinary polling booths in the same electorate using inverse-distance weighting from the suburb centroid — an approximation, not official AEC data. Nearest polling places are shown for reference.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)
1/10
IRSD decile (2021)
1/10

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.
