Suburb profile
Ringwood North is a practical established suburb in Maroondah Council, well placed for families who want metro access without the inner-city squeeze. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with plenty of young families in the mix. Education outcomes and school provision stand out relative to comparable suburbs.
Green space punches above what many metro suburbs offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. Daily life works well on foot, with buses also serving the suburb. Property sits in a premium price band and is harder to enter for many buyers.
Local crime has been trending higher of late. A busy pipeline of new development is gradually changing the look and feel of the streets.
Desirability rates excellent overall, led by stronger community and employment, plus local dining and lifestyle amenities compared with similar metro suburbs.

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.
