Edmondson Park
Population growth of 2,497.8% over the past decade makes Edmondson Park one of Australia's fastest-growing suburbs, a greenfield estate that barely existed 10 years ago and now houses 12,080 people. The growth rate of 6.18% per year adds 1,115 new residents annually, driven by internal migration of 1,122 per year as families relocate from established Sydney suburbs. Despite this rapid expansion, household incomes sit at the 93.0 percentile nationally, the highest in this dataset, while the median age of 31 is 9 years below national. SEIFA places the suburb at IRSAD decile 9, with IER decile 10 (highest economic resources nationally), confirming this is a high-income new-build corridor rather than an affordable fringe.

The $952,750 median house price rose modestly by 2.1% from $940,000 in 2024 to $959,950 in 2025, subdued compared to established suburbs. Four-plus bedroom homes dominate at 75.0% of stock, reflecting the standard builder-format 4-bed/2-bath product. Detached houses account for 83.9%, with apartments at 10.0% and semi-detached at 6.2%. Monthly mortgage repayments of $2,800 produce a mortgage-to-income ratio of 25.2%, comfortable for the income tier. 59.1% of households carry a mortgage, the highest mortgage-holder share in this dataset, while only 8.4% own outright, confirming this is a first and second-home buyer market. The Edmondson Park train station on the T8 line provides rail access unusual for greenfield estates.

For Investors
Renters make up 32.5% of households with median weekly rent at $550, producing gross yield around 3.0% on the $952,750 median, the highest yield in this dataset. The vacancy rate of 7.4% is elevated, reflecting the rapid supply additions typical of new-build areas. Rent growth of 83.3% over the decade is exceptionally strong, though it starts from a low base as the suburb only recently matured. With 92 DAs lodged in 12 months, the development pipeline remains active, including secondary dwelling and food/drink premises that signal the suburb is moving from pure residential to mixed-use. Population growth of 6.18% per year guarantees expanding tenant demand, but oversupply risk from simultaneous construction needs monitoring.

Tenure
The tenure split reveals a first-buyer market: only 8.4% own outright, 59.1% carry mortgages, and 32.5% rent. This mortgage dominance reflects recent purchases at current prices rather than accumulated equity. Four-plus bedroom homes at 75.0% dominate the stock, with three-bedroom at just 10.6%, a product mix dictated by volume builder templates. Prices moved from $940,000 to $959,950, a 2.1% gain that trails inflation. The price-to-income ratio works out to roughly 7.2 times annual household income, among the lowest in this dataset because incomes are high (93.0 percentile) relative to prices. Apartments at 10.0% indicate some medium-density product around the station precinct.

Population Forecast
+6.18%/yr
(+1,115 people/yr)
High GrowthAt 6.18% per year, Edmondson Park is adding 1,115 people annually, driven overwhelmingly by internal migration of 1,122 per year. Overseas migration adds 126 per year. The 10-year population change of 2,497.8% confirms a suburb built essentially from scratch. The trajectory is rejuvenating: the young share expanded by 6.8 percentage points while the senior share contracted by 9.8 points. Real income growth of 68.6% over the decade is the highest in this batch, though it reflects the suburb's maturation from construction-phase workers to professional families. Rents grew 83.3% over the decade. Affordability has improved, with the mortgage-to-income ratio declining from 61.7% in 2011 to 54.6% in 2021, a trend well above average for Sydney's growth corridors.

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). Population forecasts use a Hamilton-Perry cohort model calibrated to ABS ERP.
