Suburb profile

Trayning is a major regional centre in Western Australia, in Trayning Council. Notable landmarks include All Saints Anglican Church, All Saints Anglican Church, Trayning and Trayning Police Station & fmr Police Quarters.

Dining and café access is an exceptional strength, well above typical levels for major regional centres. Open-space access is better than in most comparable places. Rents are unusually low against comparable places, with median rents 73% below the peer median. Space is a strength, but car dependence is high. Trade-offs centre on fewer university qualifications and household incomes, with university qualifications 100% below the peer median.

Trayning is a better fit for people who value lower rents and dining more than university qualifications.

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 (~100), extrapolated at -1.0% 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.
