Suburb profile
Huntingfield is a practical smaller community in Kingborough Council, well placed for families who want metro access without the inner-city squeeze. A younger crowd gives the area energy, with a strong presence of young families throughout. Daily life is practical and well connected, with the city and nearby suburbs easy to tap into.
Green space punches above what many metro suburbs offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. A car helps for most daily errands, though buses still link the suburb further afield. Housing sits above the suburban middle: not the top of the market, but clearly pricier than average.
Reported crime has been falling recently. An emerging neighbourhood feel is building here, with new households gradually reshaping local life.
The overall desirability read is around average, pulled by softer local dining and lifestyle amenities compared with similar metro suburbs, though schools and education remain brighter spots. 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 (~650), 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.
