Suburb profile
Mont Albert is a practical mid-sized suburb in Whitehorse Council, well placed for families who want metro access without the inner-city squeeze. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with plenty of young families in the mix. The suburb has a clear multicultural mix alongside longer-term local households.
Families have many nearby school and early-learning options to choose from. Outdoor life is easy here, with generous parks and room for kids, dogs and weekend strolls. Most routine trips are on foot, while buses, trams, and trains cover longer journeys across the metro area.
Property sits in a premium price band and is harder to enter for many buyers. Crime reports are up on the previous period.
Desirability lands around average here: softer growth momentum weighing on the result versus similar metro suburbs, even with community and employment, plus local dining and lifestyle amenities holding up better.

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 (~5,400), 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.
