NSW 9494 Census 2021 + Live DA Data

For homebuyers, No usual address should not be used as a price comparable because it has no reported median house price, tenure split or bedroom profile. The useful signals are practical rather than transactional: 69.7% drive to work compared with 5.0% using public transport, so access to a car is likely more important than station proximity. With 11,371 people in the category and 537 needing assistance, buyer due diligence should focus on the actual street or suburb of purchase.

For Buyers

For homebuyers, No usual address should not be used as a price comparable because it has no reported median house price, tenure split or bedroom profile. The useful signals are practical rather than transactional: 69.7% drive to work compared with 5.0% using public transport, so access to a car is likely more important than station proximity. With 11,371 people in the category and 537 needing assistance, buyer due diligence should focus on the actual street or suburb of purchase.

For Investors

Investment reading is limited because rent, vacancy and ownership shares are not reported for this category. The labour market profile is the stronger clue: unemployment is 23.2% and participation is 27.6%, a weaker demand base compared with a standard suburb where renters can be tied to local jobs and dwellings. With 0 development approvals in 12 months and 11,371 residents, this is not a clean rental yield benchmark.

Demographics

The population profile is unusual compared with a mapped suburb because household structure is largely absent, but ancestry and education still give context. Males make up 56.1%, overseas born residents are 24.4%, 2.8 points above national, and university attainment is 17.9%, 12.2 points below national. English ancestry accounts for 2,715 people, while Irish and Scottish counts are 821 and 752, pointing to an Anglo leaning base with smaller language groups.

Housing indicators should be treated with caution because the 11,371 residents are not attached to a normal dwelling stock. Median price, rent, mortgage payments, ownership and bedroom shares are not reported, so values cannot be compared with nearby suburb medians. The clearest housing related signal is support need: 7.1%, or 537 people, need assistance, which makes service access more relevant than a price to income ratio.

Transport to Work

Livability cannot be ranked like a standard suburb because No usual address is not tied to a fixed school, crime or amenity catchment. Transport behaviour gives the clearest signal: 69.7% drive, 13.4% walk or cycle, and only 5.0% use public transport, so day to day access depends more on where people actually stay than on the category name. With 537 people needing assistance, service proximity likely matters more than conventional suburb amenity scores.

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.
