The inner metro electorate of NSW looks something like this:
2007 Election Result and Two Party Preferred History
| Party | LP | ALP | GRN | NP | FFP | OTH |
| 07 Primary | 33.46 | 55.26 | 8.28 | 0 | 0 | 3.0 |
Age Profile, Family Composition, Housing and Migration
The final three categories in that last chart measure the proportion of the population that had the same address in 2001 as they did in 2006, the proportion of the population that moved location between 2001 and 2006 but moved locally (that is, moved houses within their Local Statistical Area – an ABS geographical category based on local government boundaries), and the proportion of the population that moved houses between 2001 and 2006, but moved from outside of their local area. Those last three stats gives us an idea of the size of the population growth/churn going on in a seat.

Calling it “inner-metro” might get it confused with “inner-city” seats, which it definitely is not.
Oz, the AEC classifies it as Inner Metro, although those classifications aren’t particularly useful.
Broad and pointless, is what the term I would use.
