Suburb profile

Trevallyn is a major regional centre in Tasmania, in West Tamar Council, with mainly mixed commercial and residential development. It is close to the Tamar River and the South Esk River.

Shops and everyday services are easier to access than in most comparable places. Socio-economic advantage is among the highest in the peer group, placing it among the highest-ranked major regional centres, and university qualifications are among the highest in the peer group, and green cover is an exceptional strength. The clearer weaknesses are higher rents and limited school access, with median rents 25% above the peer median.

Trevallyn is a better fit for people who value socio-economic advantage and university qualifications more than lower rents.

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 (~4,950), extrapolated at +0.0% 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.
