Suburb profile

Cottesloe is a coastal suburb of Perth, in Cottesloe Council, characterised by heritage streetscapes. Notable landmarks include Pine Court, Old Cable Station and Cottesloe Beach Hotel.

The suburb is highly walkable compared with similar places, placing it among the highest-ranked comparable places. Local amenities are a relative strength. Local school ICSEA scores are among the highest in the peer group. Crime in the wider Fremantle Police District remains above typical levels but is improving. Reported offences have fallen 26% year on year. The main trade-offs are higher rents and thinner mapped green cover within the suburb boundary, with median rents 108% above the peer median.

Overall, the suburb suits people prioritising school quality and walkability 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 (~9,200), extrapolated at +0.8% 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.
