Desirability score
Suburb profile
Cremorne hums with inner-city energy, a smaller community where there is always something happening nearby. Young professionals and new households shape much of the local mix, with family-friendly schooling within easy reach. Local schools rate highly against similar suburbs.
Parks and open space are a real strength relative to many metro suburbs, easy for walks, sport and weekend downtime. Daily life works well on foot, with buses, trams, and trains also serving the suburb. Housing is expensive relative to much of the state.
Local crime has been trending higher of late. A busy pipeline of new development is gradually changing the look and feel of the streets.
Desirability rates good overall, led by stronger community and employment, plus growth momentum compared with similar metro 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.
