Suburb profile

Set among the hills of Hume Council, Sunbury is a larger suburb with bushland views and a cooler, leafier feel. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with family life visible on every street. School and preschool provision is plentiful within the local area.

Sport and recreation are easy to access, with local venues supporting active weekends and after-work routines. Green space punches above what many regional towns offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. Buses make commuting and cross-suburb trips straightforward.

Buyers typically pay more than the metro middle for a home here. Active development is adding new homes and refreshed pockets throughout the suburb.

Desirability rates good overall, led by growth momentum, plus community and employment, while safety land closer to the middle of the pack for similar regional towns. Limited access to some essential local services also trimmed the result.

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 (~44,800), extrapolated at +1.4% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

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.

IRSD decile (2021)
6/10

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.
