Suburb profile

East Perth is a central city district of Perth, characterised by heritage streetscapes alongside dense residential and commercial development. Notable landmarks include Carlton Hotel, Queen's Gardens and East Perth Power Station.

Convenience is one of the suburb's strongest attributes, with better access to shops and everyday services than in most comparable places. University qualifications are among the highest in the peer group, with university qualifications 83% above the peer median, and the suburb has an unusually high concentration of heritage listings, placing it among the highest-ranked metropolitan suburbs. Crime in the wider Perth Police District remains above typical levels but is improving. Reported offences have fallen 30% year on year. Median rents are a relative weakness.

Overall, the suburb suits people prioritising city life and university qualifications over lower rents.

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 (~16,150), extrapolated at +3.5% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021): 10/10
IRSD decile (2021): 7/10

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.
