Suburb profile

Laanecoorie is a quieter smaller community in Loddon Council, where peace, space and a country-town pace still dominate. Distance from the metro area around Melbourne is part of the appeal, with regional hubs closer to hand than the city. Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here, with multiple generations sharing the same neighbourhood.

Local shops are sparse, so a fuller set of amenities usually means travelling to a neighbouring town or regional hub. There is enough green space nearby for walks, picnics and after-school play. A car helps for most daily errands, with fewer amenities clustered within an easy walk.

Homes are relatively cheap compared with the wider market, which keeps entry costs lower. Tree-lined streets and established homes set the tone, with little pressure to reinvent the neighbourhood.

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 (~150), extrapolated at +0.1% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)

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.
