Suburb profile
Tottenham is a residential smaller community in Maribyrnong Council with a familiar suburban feel. Young professionals and new households shape much of the local mix, with family-friendly schooling within easy reach. For comparable suburbs, the café and dining scene is notably rich, with locals returning to favourite spots.
Local amenities are on the light side, so many everyday needs are met by travelling to a neighbouring suburb or town. Open space is thinner than in many comparable suburbs, so residents often travel a little further for a longer park day. Day-to-day life is more car-oriented here than in denser, more walkable pockets.
Housing is expensive relative to much of the state. Crime reports are up on the previous period.

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 (~0), extrapolated at +0.0% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.
