Suburb profile
Richmond is a lively inner larger suburb with dining, shopping and leisure options right on the doorstep. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with education options woven into the neighbourhood. Overseas-born and multilingual households are a noticeable part of the local population.
Schooling is a clear local strength compared with many peer areas. Green space punches above what many metro suburbs offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. Most routine trips are on foot, while buses, trams, and trains cover longer journeys across the metro area.
Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs. Heritage streetscapes remain visible even as renewal refreshes selected pockets of the suburb.
Against similar metro suburbs, community and employment, plus growth momentum stand out and the overall desirability rating is excellent, with safety less decisive.

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).
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.
