SEIFA in Rhodes (2138)
SEIFA index scores for Rhodes (2138) reflect the collective socio-economic profile of residents: their incomes, educational qualifications, occupational status, and the economic resources available to households in the area. The ABS publishes four SEIFA indexes; the one most commonly used in property research is the Index of Relative Socio-Economic Advantage and Disadvantage (IRSAD).
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 Rhodes 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.
