Clyde North, VIC
By Lauren McCaleb · Reviewed by Dylan Duncan ·
Clyde North is a suburb in Melbourne's outer south-east, within the City of Casey, approximately 53 kilometres from the CBD. Population: 31,681 at the 2021 Census (ABS 2021 Census QuickStats, SAL20582, Suburbs and Localities). In the 2016 Census the same area recorded approximately 8,156 residents (ABS 2016 Census QuickStats, SSC20579) — growth of 23,525 people in five years, a 288% increase, making it one of Australia's fastest-growing suburbs by absolute gain over that period. The profile this growth produced is young, international, and family-oriented: median age 30 (national: 38); 60.6% of adults married (national: 46.5%); 65.1% of households owned with mortgage (Victoria: 36.1%). Only 46.0% of residents were born in Australia. India-born: 18.2% (Victoria: 4.0%); Sri Lanka-born: 7.9% (Victoria: 1.0%). Both parents born overseas: 70.6% (national: 36.7%). Punjabi is spoken at home in 11.5% of households (Victoria: 1.6%) — among the highest concentrations of any of Melbourne's fringe growth suburbs, ahead of Tarneit (7.7%). Hinduism is reported by 12.2% (Victoria: 3.3%) and Sikhism by 10.2% (Victoria: 1.4%). Median weekly household income: $2,163 (Victoria: $1,759). Labour force participation: 73.7% (Victoria: 62.4%). 72.4% of dwellings have four or more bedrooms (Victoria: 32.6%); 97.2% are separate houses. Public transport use to work: 3.3% — the physical infrastructure of a settled suburb is still catching up to the population that has already arrived.
More advantaged than the national average
Clyde North is more socio-economically advantaged than about 79% of the 14,462 Australian suburbs we score, based on the ABS SEIFA index (raw score 1040, where about 1000 is the national average).
A socio-economic measure from ABS Census data — not a measure of how good a suburb is to live in or visit. How we calculate this.
Is Clyde North a good place to live?
There’s no single answer — it depends on what matters to you. So instead of one mystery number, we break it down: a transparent score on each part of life we can back with public data, and an honest “not yet” on the parts we can’t.
Strong on the data we score
A weighted blend of the 5 components we can score for Clyde North from public data. It sits alongside — and reconciles with — the socio-economic Suburb Score above; it is a transparent read, not a complete verdict.
Socio-economic advantage
79/100More advantaged than the national average

Not yet scored
We’d rather leave these open than publish a number we can’t stand behind. Here’s where each one stands.
- SchoolsNot scored yet — school performance (ACARA / ICSEA) needs a data-reuse licence cleared before we can publish it.
- SafetyNot scored yet — Australia has no single open crime dataset and safety data carries defamation and legal care, so it is gated pending a go/no-go and will be data-only when added.
- CommunityNot scored yet — we won't reduce community to a number from a proxy. We'd rather leave it open than publish an invented value judgement.
A transparent read on public data, not a verdict — and not a measure of any person or community. See our methodology for how each component is worked out and why some aren’t scored yet.
