Suburb profile
Diggers Rest is a well-connected mid-sized suburb in Melton Council with everyday amenities close at hand. Young professionals and new households shape much of the local mix, with plenty of young families in the mix. Overseas-born and multilingual households are a noticeable part of the local population.
Green space punches above what many metro suburbs offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. Buses make it easy to move between neighbouring suburbs without relying on the car. Housing sits in the middle of the local market: neither cheap nor premium.
Reported crime has been falling recently. A busy pipeline of new development is gradually changing the look and feel of the streets.
Growth momentum push the suburb to a good desirability read, even as local dining and lifestyle amenities look more ordinary among 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 (~14,450), extrapolated at +7.3% 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.
