Suburb profile

In Merri-bek Council, Pascoe Vale South 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 a strong presence of young families throughout. Many residents were born overseas or speak a language other than English at home.

Local schools rate highly against similar suburbs. 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. Active development is adding new homes and refreshed pockets throughout the suburb.

Community and employment, plus local dining and lifestyle amenities push the suburb to a good desirability read, even as safety and 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 (~11,400), extrapolated at +0.7% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

IRSD decile (2021)

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.
