Suburb profile

Maylands is an inner metropolitan suburb of Perth, in Bayswater Council, where heritage listings sit alongside mixed commercial and residential development. Mount Lawley is part of the surrounding geography.

Shops and everyday services are easier to access than in most comparable places. Rents are unusually low against comparable places, with median rents 16% below the peer median. The suburb has an unusually high concentration of heritage listings, placing it among the highest-ranked inner metropolitan suburbs, and green cover is stronger than in comparable places, with green cover 62% above the peer median. Trade-offs centre on limited school access and household incomes, with school access 71% below the peer median.

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 (~16,400), extrapolated at +1.1% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

IRSD decile (2021)

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.
