Suburb profile

Wandana Heights is a semi-rural locality near Melbourne, in Greater Geelong Council, with mainly mixed commercial and residential development. The Corio Bay is part of the surrounding geography.

Local school ICSEA scores are among the highest in the peer group, placing it among the highest-ranked semi-rural and lifestyle localities. Reported crime is exceptionally low against comparable places. Reported offences have fallen 62% year on year, and socio-economic advantage is among the highest in the peer group, and university qualifications are among the highest in the peer group, with university qualifications 79% above the peer median. Space is a strength, but car dependence is high. Housing is expensive relative to comparable places. Median house prices have risen 20% year on year.

Wandana Heights is a better fit for people who value lower crime and school quality more than lower housing costs.

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 (~2,300), extrapolated at +1.9% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

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.
