Suburb profile

South Fremantle is a coastal middle-ring metropolitan suburb of Perth, in Fremantle Council. It has a clear overseas-born and multilingual community.

Dining and cafés are a relative strength, placing it among the highest-ranked middle-ring metropolitan suburbs. Open-space access is exceptionally strong, with park access 119% above the peer median. University qualifications are among the highest in the peer group, with university qualifications 76% 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 clearer weaknesses are weaker public transport and thinner mapped green cover within the suburb boundary, with public transport 48% below the peer median.

South Fremantle is a better fit for people who value open space and dining more than public transport.

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 (~4,200), extrapolated at +1.3% 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.
