Suburb profile

Jandakot is a middle-ring metropolitan suburb of Perth, in Cockburn Council. It is mainly residential, with little in the way of a distinct commercial centre or landmark identity.

Employment rates are stronger than in comparable places, well above typical levels for middle-ring metropolitan suburbs. Green cover is a strong feature of the suburb, with green cover 34% above the peer median. Space is a strength, but car dependence is high, and crime in the wider Fremantle Police District remains above typical levels but is improving. Reported offences have fallen 26% year on year. Trade-offs centre on limited school access and thinner local amenities, with school access 83% below the peer median.

Jandakot's appeal is better explained by housing, access and location than by a strong standalone precinct or destination.

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 (~2,000), extrapolated at -0.2% 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.
