Suburb profile
Life in Coronet Bay revolves around the coast at a genuine remove from Melbourne. Neighbouring centres cover more of the weekly rhythm than the distant capital does. A mature community gives the area a calm, settled social fabric, with multiple generations sharing the same neighbourhood.
Parks and open space are a real strength relative to many coastal suburbs, easy for walks, sport and weekend downtime. Buses are solid enough for daily errands and regular trips further afield. Homes are relatively cheap compared with the wider market, which keeps entry costs lower.
Local crime has been trending higher of late. This is a mature, settled pocket where the existing streetscape still defines the local character.
Desirability sits below average overall, with community and employment, plus growth momentum the main drag compared with similar coastal suburbs.

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 (~1,350), extrapolated at +2.6% 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.
