Suburb profile

Geraldton is a major regional centre in Western Australia, in Greater Geraldton Council, characterised by heritage streetscapes alongside mixed commercial and residential development. It has a university campus. Notable landmarks include Geraldton Drill Hall, Geraldton Court House and Radio Theatre Building.

Shops and everyday services are easier to access than in most comparable places. Health access is an exceptional strength, placing it among the highest-ranked major regional centres. The suburb has an unusually high concentration of heritage listings. Crime in the wider Mid West-Gascoyne Police District remains above typical levels but is improving. Reported offences have fallen 32% year on year. The main trade-offs are weaker population growth and lower school ICSEA scores, with population growth 71% below the peer median.

Geraldton is a better fit for people who value health access and heritage character more than population growth.

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 (~3,350), extrapolated at -0.2% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)
2/10
IRSD decile (2021)
2/10

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.
