    What Iraak is known for:

    Suburb profile

    Iraak offers a slower smaller community life in Mildura Council, with open surrounds and a close-knit community feel. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with family life visible on every street. Weekends tend to revolve around local favourites: a café, a market run, a walk through town.

    Everyday basics may be close by, but bigger shopping and services typically require a trip to a nearby centre. Local green pockets are modest, with bigger outdoor outings usually found in neighbouring areas. Day-to-day life is more car-oriented here than in denser, more walkable pockets.

    Housing is more affordable than in many parts of the state. Crime trends have improved of late compared with the previous period.

    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 (~100), extrapolated at -0.1% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

    • Sand Extraction Sand Pit - to extract sand (loam) from the sand hill. This sand hill is one of our largest and is not productive cropping land due to its steepness and sandy soils which blows during the dry summers. Our stock fences are constantly being buried. We are often having to re-sow the area which then causes further wind errosion issues. Removing/bring down the hill as much as possible will make the land more productive for farming. It's noted, this site was already approved by MRCC/cou

    Socio-economic

    IRSAD decile (2021)
    2/10
    IRSD decile (2021)
    3/10

    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.
