Suburb profile

In Glen Eira Council, Caulfield is a settled mid-sized suburb with a familiar suburban feel and good links to the wider city. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with a strong presence of young families throughout. This is a strongly multicultural suburb: overseas-born and multilingual households make up much of the community.

There is a dense cluster of schools and early-learning options nearby. Open space is thinner than in many metro suburbs, so residents often travel a little further for a longer park day. Daily life works well on foot, with buses and trams also serving the suburb.

Housing is expensive relative to much of the state. Crime reports are up on the previous period.

Desirability rates good overall, led by community and employment, plus local dining and lifestyle amenities, while growth momentum 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 (~6,350), extrapolated at +0.8% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

IRSD decile (2021)

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.
