Suburb profile
In Banyule Council, Macleod is a settled established suburb with a familiar suburban feel and good links to the wider city. Working households and growing families are the backbone of local life, with plenty of young families in the mix. Local schools rate highly against similar suburbs.
Green space punches above what many metro suburbs offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. Reasonably walkable — many errands reachable on foot or by bus, with buses and trains linking the suburb to surrounding areas. 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.
Community and employment push the suburb to a good desirability read, even as growth momentum 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 (~9,850), extrapolated at +0.4% 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.
