Suburb profile
Subiaco hums with inner-city energy, a established suburb where there is always something happening nearby. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with family life visible on every street. The suburb has a clear multicultural mix alongside longer-term local households.
Schooling is a clear local strength compared with many peer areas. Outdoor life is easy here, with generous parks and room for kids, dogs and weekend strolls. Everyday errands are walkable, and buses and trains keep the wider city within easy reach.
Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs. Crime trends have improved of late compared with the previous period.
Desirability rates good overall, led by stronger community and employment, plus local dining and lifestyle amenities compared with similar metro suburbs.

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).
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.
