Suburb profile
Patterson Lakes is a practical mid-sized suburb in Kingston Council, well placed for families who want metro access without the inner-city squeeze. The city and surrounding suburbs are both within comfortable reach, which keeps daily life flexible. Long-term locals and family households define much of the community, with family life visible on every street.
Everyday errands and local outings are straightforward, with the wider metro area adding variety. Outdoor life is easy here, with generous parks and room for kids, dogs and weekend strolls. Daily life works well on foot, with buses also serving the suburb.
Housing is expensive relative to much of the state. A busy pipeline of new development is gradually changing the look and feel of the streets.
Local dining and lifestyle amenities, plus schools and education 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 (~8,400), extrapolated at +0.5% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

- We would like to put up a glass fence around the deck over the water of Patterson Lakes Marina that is at the back of our house. We have a 2 year old son and want the safest option of fence. We considered a post and wire fence however this would be unsafe because he could easily climb up the wire and over into the water. A 1200 high glass pool fence and glass gate with latch leading down the ramp to the jetty will be the safest option as he cannot climb over a glass fence.3 SCARBOROUGH DRIVE PATTERSON LAKES 3197In progress

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.
