Suburb profile
Life in Albert Park revolves around the coast, with the feel of a mid-sized suburb that never strays far from the water. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with a strong presence of young families throughout. Schooling is a clear local strength compared with many peer areas.
Food and coffee punch above the usual for coastal suburbs, giving the suburb a lived-in social scene. Parks and open space are a real strength relative to many coastal suburbs, easy for walks, sport and weekend downtime. Everyday errands are walkable, and buses and trams keep the wider city within easy reach.
Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs. Active development is adding new homes and refreshed pockets throughout the suburb.
Desirability rates good overall, led by community and employment, while safety land closer to the middle of the pack for similar coastal suburbs.

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).
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.
