St Kilda is a coastal inner metropolitan suburb of Melbourne, in Port Phillip Council, characterised by heritage streetscapes alongside denser housing than a typical suburban neighbourhood. Notable landmarks include George Hotel, Berkeley Hall and Palais Theatre.
Access to jobs, services and transport is where the suburb performs particularly well, with better access to shops and everyday services than in most comparable places. The suburb has an unusually high concentration of heritage listings, placing it among the highest-ranked inner metropolitan suburbs, and mapped flood cover is an exceptional strength, with mapped flood cover 100% below the peer median. The clearer weaknesses are higher crime and household incomes, with household incomes 21% below the peer median.
Overall, the suburb suits people prioritising city life and heritage character over peace and quiet.

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 (~27,800), extrapolated at +1.6% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Federal electorate from AEC federal division boundaries (2025 redistribution). Division-level results are official AEC figures from the latest general election, with by-election updates where applicable. The estimated suburb profile blends up to eight nearest ordinary polling booths in the same electorate using inverse-distance weighting from the suburb centroid — an approximation, not official AEC data. Nearest polling places are shown for reference.
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.
