Suburb profile
Myaree is a well-connected smaller community in Melville Council with everyday amenities close at hand. Long-term locals and family households define much of the community, with family life visible on every street. Many residents were born overseas or speak a language other than English at home.
There is enough green space nearby for walks, picnics and after-school play. Everyday errands are walkable, and buses keep the wider city within easy reach. Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs.
Reported crime has been falling recently. The suburb still has an emerging character, as newer residents settle in and local identity forms.
Desirability rates good overall, led by community and employment, while local dining and lifestyle amenities land closer to the middle of the pack for similar metro suburbs.

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 (~2,450), extrapolated at +1.2% 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.
