Suburb profile
Dalyellup is a coastal established suburb a long way from Perth, where beach life and a quieter rhythm set the tone. Residents are mostly families and working professionals, with family life visible on every street. The suburb has a clear multicultural mix alongside longer-term local households.
Green space punches above what many coastal suburbs offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. Buses make commuting and cross-suburb trips straightforward. Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs.
Reported crime has been falling recently. A growing community is gradually adding fresh energy without losing its local identity.
Community and employment, plus schools and education push the suburb to a good desirability read, even as local dining and lifestyle amenities look more ordinary among similar coastal suburbs. Limited access to some essential local services also trimmed the result.

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 (~13,050), extrapolated at +3.1% 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.
