Suburb profile

Emerton is an outer metropolitan suburb of Sydney, in Blacktown Council, with mainly mixed commercial and residential development. Mount Druitt is part of the surrounding geography.

Dining and cafés are a relative strength, placing it among the highest-ranked outer metropolitan suburbs. Rents are unusually low against comparable places, with median rents 18% below the peer median. Crime in the wider postcode 2770 remains above typical levels but is improving. Reported offences have fallen 25% year on year, and space is a strength, but car dependence is high. The main trade-offs are lower school ICSEA scores and lower socio-economic advantage.

Emerton is a better fit for people who value lower rents and dining more than school quality.

ABS Estimated Resident Population allocated to this suburb from SA2-level data. Not an official ABS suburb count.

Methodology

Figures are allocated from ABS Estimated Resident Population at Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), using 2021 Census share within overlapping SA2 regions. Where Census data is unavailable, area overlap is used instead.

The dashed chart line is a simple growth-trend estimate to June 2030 (~2,350), extrapolated at -0.1% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Division-level results are official AEC figures from the latest general election, with by-election updates where applicable. The estimated suburb profile blends up to eight nearest ordinary polling booths in the same electorate using inverse-distance weighting from the suburb centroid — an approximation, not official AEC data. Nearest polling places are shown for reference.

ABS Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), 2021 release — the latest available, derived from the 2021 Census. Deciles rank suburbs nationally from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).

What do IRSAD and IRSD measure?

IRSAD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage. Combines indicators of advantage (e.g. high income, skilled occupations) and disadvantage. Higher decile = more advantaged relative to other Australian areas.

IRSD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage. Focuses on disadvantage only (e.g. low income, unemployment, limited education). Higher decile = less disadvantage nationally.

A new SEIFA edition typically follows each census; the ABS has not announced a release date beyond 2021.
