Suburb profile

Seddon is an inner metropolitan suburb of Melbourne, in Maribyrnong Council. It is mainly residential, with little in the way of a distinct commercial centre or landmark identity.

Employment is stronger than in comparable places, with employment 10% above the peer median. Housing is unusually affordable against comparable places, with median house prices 36% below the peer median. Recorded road crashes are a relative strength, with recorded road crashes 61% below the peer median, and working from home is another area where the suburb performs particularly well, placing it among the highest-ranked inner metropolitan suburbs. The main trade-offs are thinner mapped green cover within the suburb boundary and weaker population growth.

Seddon'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 (~5,700), extrapolated at +0.8% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)
10/10
IRSD decile (2021)
8/10

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.
