Suburb profile
Maddington is a well-connected established suburb in Gosnells Council with everyday amenities close at hand. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with plenty of young families in the mix. A large share of residents were born overseas, and languages other than English are widely spoken at home.
School and preschool provision is plentiful within the local area. Outdoor life is easy here, with generous parks and room for kids, dogs and weekend strolls. Buses and trains make it easy to move between neighbouring suburbs without relying on the car.
Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs. Reported crime has been falling recently.
Versus similar metro suburbs, the suburb reads around average on desirability, chiefly because community and employment, plus local dining and lifestyle amenities trail behind. 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 (~16,200), extrapolated at +2.5% 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.
