Suburb profile
Grays Point is a practical mid-sized suburb in Sutherland Shire Council, well placed for families who want metro access without the inner-city squeeze. Connections to the wider metro area are straightforward, with neighbouring communities close at hand. Long-term locals and family households define much of the community, with family life visible on every street.
Dining is thinner on the ground than in busier metro pockets, so many residents head to neighbouring suburbs for a night out. Getting around is straightforward, with buses tying neighbouring communities together. Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs.
Occasional new builds add variety while most of the suburb keeps its established look.
Against similar metro suburbs, the suburb sits around average overall, mainly because parks and green space lag behind, despite relative strength in community and employment, plus growth momentum. Limited access to some essential local services also trimmed the result.

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 (~3,150), extrapolated at +0.6% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

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.
