Suburb profile

Busselton is a major regional centre in Western Australia, in Busselton Council, where heritage listings sit alongside mixed commercial and residential development. The Margaret River is part of the surrounding geography. Notable landmarks include Busselton Jetty.

Shops and everyday services are easier to access than in most comparable places. School access is strong, well above typical levels for major regional centres. Green cover is an exceptional strength, and heritage listings are more concentrated than in comparable places. The main trade-offs are higher rents and weaker employment, with median rents 46% above the peer median.

Overall, the suburb suits people prioritising daily services and school access over lower rents.

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 (~2,300), extrapolated at +2.6% 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.
