SEIFA in Elizabeth Bay (2011)

Elizabeth Bay (2011) has a SEIFA relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage (SEIFA-IRSD) score that places it in the context of all Australian neighbourhoods by income, education, occupation, and access to services. For property buyers, the SEIFA decile is a useful single-number proxy for the socio-economic character of a suburb. Its trajectory matters as much as its current position.

A rising SEIFA decile over successive Censuses is one of the clearest signals of gentrification. It captures the demographic shift in who lives in a suburb rather than just what they are paying for housing. If Elizabeth Bay has moved up a decile or more between the 2016 and 2021 Censuses, it is undergoing the kind of socio-economic transition that has historically accompanied above-average capital growth in Sydney.
