SEIFA in Paddington (2021)

Paddington (2021) 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.

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.
