Noble Park, VIC
By Lauren McCaleb · Reviewed by Dylan Duncan ·
Noble Park is a suburb within the City of Greater Dandenong, about 25 kilometres south-east of central Melbourne. Population: 32,257 at the 2021 Census (ABS 2021 Census QuickStats, SAL21952, Suburbs and Localities). Noble Park mirrors and in places exceeds the remarkable diversity of its LGA. 65.8% of residents were born overseas (Australia-born: 34.2%), above even the LGA's already high overseas-born share of 63.4%. 78.8% have both parents born overseas. English is the only language spoken at home in 29.2% of households. Vietnamese ancestry is reported by 12.8% of residents and Khmer (Cambodian) ancestry by 9.1% — the LGA's Southeast Asian migration history is concentrated and visible at the suburb level. Buddhism is practised by 18.3% and Islam by 11.1%. Median weekly personal income: $628 (Victoria: $803), 22% below the Victorian median, consistent with the LGA-wide income profile. Where Noble Park-specific Census figures are not cited here, the Greater Dandenong LGA context (LGA22670, 158,208 people) provides the appropriate structural framing for income, employment, and qualification patterns.
Among Australia's less advantaged suburbs
Noble Park is more socio-economically advantaged than about 12% of the 14,462 Australian suburbs we score, based on the ABS SEIFA index (raw score 901, 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 Noble Park 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.
Below the national middle on the data we score
A weighted blend of the 5 components we can score for Noble Park from public data. It sits alongside — and reconciles with — the socio-economic Suburb Score above; it is a transparent read, not a complete verdict.

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.
