Where does Annandale sit on the socio-economic spectrum? The SEIFA score below is sourced from the most recent ABS Census and expressed as an Australia-wide decile, so a decile of 8 means Annandale is in the top 30% of Australian suburbs by socio-economic advantage. The Inner West LGA context shows whether Annandale is above or below the average for its local government area.
SEIFA deciles have a well-documented relationship with long-run property price growth in Sydney. Higher-decile suburbs tend to retain value better during downturns and recover faster after corrections, reflecting the financial resilience of owner-occupiers. Lower-decile suburbs can deliver strong growth during boom phases as affordability pressure pushes buyers further from the city, but they are typically more volatile.
