Suburb profile

Wangaratta sits in Wangaratta Council as a regional established suburb that feels self-contained and a long way from big-city bustle. Long-term locals and family households define much of the community, with family life visible on every street. Schooling is a clear local strength compared with many peer areas.

Weekends tend to revolve around local favourites: a café, a market run, a walk through town. Parks and open space are a real strength relative to many regional towns, easy for walks, sport and weekend downtime. Most routine trips are on foot, while buses cover longer journeys across the metro area.

Homes are relatively cheap compared with the wider market, which keeps entry costs lower. Active development is adding new homes and refreshed pockets throughout the suburb.

Safety, plus community and employment push the suburb to a good desirability read, even as growth momentum look more ordinary among similar regional towns.

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 (~21,450), extrapolated at +0.8% 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.
