Suburb profile

Cannington is a middle-ring metropolitan suburb of Perth, in Canning Council, with mainly mixed commercial and residential development. Notable landmarks include Canning Town Hall and Canning War Memorial.

The suburb is highly walkable compared with similar places, placing it among the highest-ranked middle-ring metropolitan suburbs. Local amenities are a relative strength. Health access is an exceptional strength. Crime in the wider Cannington Police District remains above typical levels but is improving. Reported offences have fallen 30% year on year. Trade-offs centre on thinner mapped green cover within the suburb boundary and lower school ICSEA scores, with green cover 57% below the peer median.

Cannington is a better fit for people who value walkability and local amenities more than school quality.

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 (~9,550), extrapolated at +3.2% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021): 5/10
IRSD decile (2021): 3/10

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.
