Top Suburbs by Irish Population
WA suburbs with the highest number of Irish ancestry residents, ranked by count from Census 2021. — WA
This list works best when you want to understand where a particular ancestry group has the largest visible footprint in WA.
High counts usually reflect scale and concentration. They do not automatically mean better affordability, schools, safety, or investment quality.
Use the ranking to find candidate suburbs, then confirm price levels, incomes, schools, transport, and other local tradeoffs on the suburb pages.
This ranking is backed by demographic counts. It is good for finding clusters, not for deciding suburb quality alone.
Use top rows as research leads, then test affordability, services, and evidence depth before shortlisting.
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.

Top Suburbs by Irish Population FAQ
-
What does this Irish ranking show?
This ranking shows WA 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.
