Suburb profile
Life in Ocean Grove revolves around the coast, with the feel of a established suburb that never strays far from the water. Long-term locals and family households define much of the community, with family life visible on every street. Local shops and services are well covered, which makes the suburb easy to live in day to day.
Green space punches above what many coastal suburbs offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. Most routine trips are on foot, while buses cover longer journeys across the metro area. Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs.
Reported crime has been rising recently. Active development is adding new homes and refreshed pockets throughout the suburb.
Among similar coastal suburbs, the suburb earns a good desirability read, with community and employment, plus schools and education the standout strengths.

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 (~21,600), extrapolated at +2.7% 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.
