Suburb profile
Away from the major hubs, Warragul is a established suburb in Baw Baw Council with its own quieter rhythm. Working households and growing families are the backbone of local life, with plenty of young families in the mix. Schooling is a clear local strength compared with many peer areas.
A practical retail strip keeps errands local: groceries and daily services without a long trip. Parks and open space are a real strength relative to many regional towns, easy for walks, sport and weekend downtime. Everyday errands are walkable, and buses and trains keep the wider city within easy reach.
Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs. A busy pipeline of new development is gradually changing the look and feel of the streets.
Against similar regional towns, growth momentum stand out and the overall desirability rating is excellent, with safety less decisive.

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 (~25,300), extrapolated at +2.9% 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.
