What can I rank Australian suburbs by here?
Three demographic dimensions from the ABS Census 2021: ancestry (where a self-reported ancestry community is largest), occupation (where a workforce clusters), and industry (where an industry concentrates employment). Each leads to per-group tables ranked by count and population share, with per-state views.

How is this different from the main property rankings?
Demographic rankings describe who lives or works in a suburb, not what it costs. Use them to understand an area’s make-up, then switch to the price, rent, yield, and growth rankings or open a suburb page to weigh the property case.

How current is the data?
Demographic counts come from the ABS Census 2021, the most recent national census. Property signals on the suburb pages combine more frequently updated sources such as RBA, state Valuers General, and rental bond data.
