Suburb profile
Glen Davis is a quieter smaller community in Lithgow Council, where peace, space and a country-town pace still dominate. Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here. Local shops, markets and community spots keep everyday life grounded in the town itself.
Parks and open space are a real strength relative to many comparable suburbs, easy for walks, sport and weekend downtime. Day-to-day life is more car-oriented here than in denser, more walkable pockets. Housing sits in the middle of the local market: neither cheap nor premium.
Reported crime has been falling recently. A trickle of new development is refreshing selected pockets without changing the overall feel.

Socio-economic
- IRSAD decile (2021)

- IRSD decile (2021)
- 3/10
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.
