Suburb profile
Life in Middle Park revolves around the coast, with the feel of a mid-sized suburb that never strays far from the water. Long-term locals and family households define much of the community, with a strong presence of young families throughout. There is a dense cluster of schools and early-learning options nearby.
Outdoor life is easy here, with generous parks and room for kids, dogs and weekend strolls. Daily life works well on foot, with buses and trams also serving the suburb. Housing is expensive relative to much of the state.
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 coastal suburbs, growth momentum, plus community and employment stand out and the overall desirability rating is good, with local dining and lifestyle amenities less decisive.

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 (~4,000), extrapolated at +1.0% 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.
