Suburb profile
Eaglemont is a practical mid-sized suburb in Banyule Council, well placed for families who want metro access without the inner-city squeeze. Long-term locals and family households define much of the community, with plenty of young families in the mix. Local schools rate highly against similar suburbs.
Outdoor life is easy here, with generous parks and room for kids, dogs and weekend strolls. A car helps for most daily errands, though buses and trains still link the suburb further afield. Property sits in a premium price band and is harder to enter for many buyers.
Crime trends have improved of late compared with the previous period. A busy pipeline of new development is gradually changing the look and feel of the streets.
Against similar metro suburbs, community and employment, plus growth momentum stand out and the overall desirability rating is good, with local dining and lifestyle amenities less decisive. Limited access to some essential local services also trimmed the result.

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 (~4,200), extrapolated at +0.1% 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.
