What does this Irish ranking show?

This ranking shows Australian suburbs with the highest Irish resident counts, based on Census 2021 demographic data.

Should I choose a suburb just because it ranks highly here?

No. Demographic rankings explain local context, not investment quality by themselves. Use them with price, rent, income, schools, transport, and detail-page evidence before shortlisting.

Why does QuickProperty show count and percentage of population?

The count shows the size of the local group, while the percentage helps avoid overreading large suburbs that rank highly only because they have more residents overall.

What is the next step after this demographic ranking?

Open the suburb detail pages for the strongest candidates, save realistic matches to your shortlist, and compare them against affordability and local evidence before making a decision.

How to read this ranking

Use top suburbs by irish population to find concentration, not overall quality.

BEST FOR

Spotting where a community is most concentrated.

This list works best when you want to understand where a particular ancestry group has the largest visible footprint.

READ IT AS

A population count first, not a recommendation.

High counts usually reflect scale and concentration. They do not automatically mean better affordability, schools, safety, or investment quality.

NEXT STEP

Open the suburb pages before making a decision.

Use the ranking to find candidate suburbs, then confirm price levels, incomes, schools, transport, and other local tradeoffs on the suburb pages.

AVAILABLE evidence

Census concentration signal

This ranking is backed by demographic counts. It is good for finding clusters, not for deciding suburb quality alone.

CLUSTER SCREEN

This ranking finds concentration, not suburb quality.

Use top rows as research leads, then test affordability, services, and evidence depth before shortlisting.

Shortlist flow

Use #1 Port Macquarie and #2 Warrnambool as the first compare pair.

Rankings are strongest when they hand you a shortlist quickly. Compare the top two first, then open suburb detail if the head-to-head result still feels narrow.
