The median house price hit $1,490,000 in 2025, rising from $1,265,000 in 2024, a 17.8% gain in one year. Monthly mortgage repayments average $2,167, producing a mortgage-to-income ratio of 29.3%, below the 30% stress threshold. Three-bedroom homes dominate at 46.8% of stock, followed by four-plus bedrooms at 34.9%, making the suburb well suited to families rather than downsizers. Separate houses account for 61.9% of dwellings and semi-detached for 37.5%, with apartments a negligible 0.6%, so buyers have a genuine choice between detached and terrace-style homes. Outright owners at 28.9% are outnumbered by mortgage holders at 30.6% and renters at 40.5%, indicating a market still in active ownership transition rather than one dominated by established, debt-free holders.

For Investors
A 40.5% renter share is considerably above the national average and signals a structurally rental-heavy market. Weekly rent of $410 against a $1,490,000 median implies a gross yield near 1.4%, which is low, but the 17.8% price jump in 2025 indicates recent capital growth momentum. The vacancy rate stands at 4.6%, above the typical healthy range of 2-3%, suggesting mild oversupply in the rental pool. Overseas migration drives net population inflows at 413 arrivals per year, offsetting internal outflow of 260 per year, with the area recording 11% population growth since 2011. Development activity shows 38 applications in the past 12 months, including secondary dwellings and demolish-and-rebuild projects, reflecting steady owner-driven renewal rather than speculative infill.

The price story is brisk: $1,265,000 in 2024 to $1,490,000 in 2025, an 17.8% single-year rise. Tenure is split with 28.9% owning outright, 30.6% on a mortgage and 40.5% renting, with renters forming the largest single tenure group. The stock leans family-sized, with 46.8% three-bedroom and 34.9% four-plus-bedroom homes, leaving smaller two-bedroom units at only 16.2%. Separate houses at 61.9% and semi-detached at 37.5% give the suburb a predominantly low-rise residential character, with apartments at just 0.6%. Mortgage-to-income at 29.3% is marginally below stress threshold, and rent-to-income at 24.0% is also within comfortable bounds, though both ratios will tighten if prices continue to outpace income growth at the current pace.

Transport to Work
Car dependence is high: 84.1% of residents drive to work, versus a national average closer to 70%, while only 5.7% use public transport and 1.9% walk or cycle. This reflects the suburb's mid-suburban position within Western Sydney's road-oriented layout. Constitution Hill sits in decile 6 on IRSAD nationally, indicating moderate advantage relative to other Australian suburbs. Volunteering participation is 10.7% and 6.6% of residents need daily assistance, both broadly in line with comparable suburbs. Housing stress is absent by standard measures, with rent-to-income at 24.0% and mortgage-to-income at 29.3%, both below the 30% stress threshold. No schools are recorded within the suburb boundary, so families rely on nearby institutions, a practical consideration given that 81% of households had children-in-families or working couples.

Population Forecast
+0.77%/yr
(+184 people/yr)
EstablishedAnnual population growth runs at 0.77% with 184 additional persons per year. The medium forecast projects the local area reaching 25,104 by 2031, up from 23,933 in 2025. The primary driver is overseas migration at 413 net arrivals per year, while internal migration runs at minus 260 per year, a common pattern in established Western Sydney suburbs where incoming international residents replace departing domestic movers. Population has grown 10.4% over the decade since 2011, and the gentrification score of 14 points places the suburb in a not gentrifying stage, meaning price growth is demand-driven rather than driven by socioeconomic uplifting. Affordability improved from 59.1% in 2011 to 54.3% in 2021, though the recent 17.8% price surge likely reversed some of that gain.

How to read these comparisons
Phrases like "above the national average" reference the unweighted median across Australian suburbs with more than 1,000 residents, not population-weighted national figures. Suburb-level medians are more useful for ranking suburbs against each other; ABS census headlines are population-weighted (so dominated by Sydney and Melbourne) and can read very differently.
Current baseline (refreshed 2026-05-10): median age 40, university-educated 30.1%, born overseas 21.6%, average household size 2.5 people.
Data sources: ABS 2021 Census (demographics, income, tenure), state Valuer-General (house prices), Department of Jobs SALM (unemployment), ACARA (school ICSEA), state Crime Statistics agencies (offences), council DA portals (development applications).
