Kings Park
Household incomes in Kings Park sit at the 83.1st percentile nationally, yet SEIFA tells a more complex story: the suburb scores decile 5 on IEO (education and occupation) but only decile 2 on IER (economic resources) and decile 3 on IRSD (disadvantage), a gap that reflects a predominantly mortgaged, owner-occupier community where incomes are high but wealth accumulation is still in progress. With 92.8% detached houses and 50.4% of dwellings carrying a mortgage, this is one of Western Sydney's clearest mortgage-belt signatures. Population density is 1,334 per square kilometre across 2.61 km2, and the median age of 37 sits 3 years below the national figure, pointing to a suburb still in active family formation.

2024-2025 (PSI derived)
The median house price is $1,200,000, consistent across 2024 and 2025, which places Kings Park well above the national median. The stock is almost entirely detached houses at 92.8%, so buyers compete in a single dominant market segment with little apartment or semi-detached alternative. Bedroom configuration leans large: 49.9% are three-bedroom dwellings and 42.0% have four or more bedrooms, making Kings Park well suited to families rather than downsizers. Monthly mortgage repayments average $2,300, giving a mortgage-to-income ratio of 24.3%, below the 30% stress threshold despite the $1.2M price point. Outright ownership sits at 27.4% against 50.4% on mortgage, confirming that the typical purchaser is mid-career rather than established wealth. The 2.61 km2 footprint and detached-house dominance limit new supply, which provides some structural floor under prices.

For Investors
At $445 per week rent against a $1,200,000 median, the gross yield for Kings Park is approximately 1.9%, below what most yield-focused investors target. The 4.1% vacancy rate is elevated compared to a tight-market benchmark of around 2%, suggesting supply is adequate relative to current renter demand. The renter share is 22.2%, which is relatively low, so the tenant pool is smaller than in denser or more transient suburbs. On the positive side, 53 development applications were lodged in the past 12 months, including new dwelling constructions, indicating active land use and council activity. Household income at the 83.1st percentile nationally supports tenant quality and rent serviceability. The investment case leans toward long-term capital growth in a family-oriented mortgage belt rather than near-term yield.

Ownership structure is dominated by mortgage holders at 50.4%, with outright owners at 27.4% and renters at 22.2%. The gap between mortgage holders and outright owners is wider than in more established Sydney suburbs, reflecting a younger demographic still paying down debt at an average age of 37. The housing stock is 92.8% separate houses, one of the highest detached-house ratios in Western Sydney, with semi-detached at 6.9% and apartments at just 0.3%. Three-bedroom homes are the most common at 49.9%, followed closely by four-plus-bedroom homes at 42.0%, meaning Kings Park housing is almost entirely family sized. The median house price of $1,200,000 is unchanged from 2024 to 2025, and the mortgage-to-income ratio of 24.3% is below the stress threshold, which reduces forced-sale pressure on the local market.

Economy & Employment
Education (14.4%, 172 workers) and Healthcare (13.5%, 161 workers) are the two largest employing industries, followed by Construction at 10.3% (123 workers) and Public Admin at 9.1% (109 workers). This public-service-and-care employment base is typical of outer-suburban Western Sydney and produces stable but not particularly high-growth income. By occupation, Professionals lead with 374 workers, followed by Clerical/Admin (280) and Managers (254). The unemployment rate is 5.1%, above the national trend rate of around 4%, and participation is 56.4%, below national norms, partly because 836 residents are not in the labour force. SEIFA decile 2 on IER reflects relatively low household economic resources despite 83.1st-percentile incomes, a pattern consistent with high mortgage debt and limited accumulated assets. Full-time employment makes up 68.3% of employed residents, indicating stable work arrangements for those who participate.

Transport to Work
Car dependency is very high: 88.0% of residents drive to work, compared to public transport at 5.0% and walking or cycling at 2.0%. This is typical of outer-suburban Western Sydney but means livability scores are sensitive to fuel costs and road congestion. No schools are recorded within the Kings Park boundary in this dataset, so families rely on schools in surrounding suburbs. The need-for-assistance rate is 4.7% (157 residents), close to the national average, and volunteering runs at 11.3%. Rent-to-income at 20.4% is below the 30% stress threshold, meaning tenants are not financially stretched. Housing stress on the mortgage side is also absent at 24.3%. SEIFA places Kings Park at decile 4 on IRSAD, the combined advantage and disadvantage index, below the national median of decile 5 to 6, indicating moderate disadvantage relative to the broader population.

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.
