Suburb profile

Ringwood North is an outer metropolitan suburb of Melbourne, in Maroondah Council. It is mainly residential, with little in the way of a distinct commercial centre or landmark identity.

Shops and everyday services are easier to access than in most comparable places. Local school ICSEA scores are among the highest in the peer group, placing it among the highest-ranked outer metropolitan suburbs. Reported crime is exceptionally low against comparable places. Reported offences have risen 33% year on year, and socio-economic advantage is among the highest in the peer group. The clearer weaknesses are higher housing costs and weaker population growth, with median house prices 56% above the peer median.

Ringwood North's appeal is better explained by housing, access and location than by a strong standalone precinct or destination.

ABS Estimated Resident Population allocated to this suburb from SA2-level data. Not an official ABS suburb count.

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 (~10,800), extrapolated at +0.1% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)
10/10
IRSD decile (2021)
10/10

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.
