Suburb profile

In Clarence Council, Lindisfarne is a settled mid-sized suburb with a familiar suburban feel and good links to the wider city. Its inner position means surrounding suburbs are never far away, whether for a meal out or a change of scene. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with a strong presence of young families throughout.

Fitness and outdoor sport options are a real part of local life, not just a distant club trip away. Pocket parks and green corners give residents room to get outside without leaving the neighbourhood. Everyday errands are walkable, and buses keep the wider city within easy reach.

Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs. Tree-lined streets and established homes set the tone, with little pressure to reinvent the neighbourhood.

Desirability rates good overall, led by schools and education, plus community and employment, while safety land closer to the middle of the pack for similar metro suburbs.

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 (~6,850), extrapolated at +0.9% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)

IRSD decile (2021)
7/10

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.
