Suburb profile

North Fremantle is a coastal middle-ring metropolitan suburb of Perth, in Fremantle Council. It is close to the Swan River.

Dining and cafés are a relative strength, placing it among the highest-ranked middle-ring metropolitan suburbs. Local school ICSEA scores are among the highest in the peer group. University qualifications are among the highest in the peer group, with university qualifications 80% above the peer median. Crime in the wider Fremantle Police District remains above typical levels but is improving. Reported offences have fallen 26% year on year. The main trade-offs are higher rents and thinner mapped green cover within the suburb boundary, with median rents 26% above the peer median.

North Fremantle is a better fit for people who value school quality and dining more than lower rents.

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 (~5,300), extrapolated at +2.6% 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.
