Suburb profile
Jamisontown is a well-connected mid-sized suburb in Penrith Council with everyday amenities close at hand. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with a strong presence of young families throughout. Fitness and outdoor sport options are a real part of local life, not just a distant club trip away.
Green space punches above what many metro suburbs offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. Daily life works well on foot, with buses also serving the suburb. Property sits in a premium price band and is harder to enter for many buyers.
Reported crime has been falling recently. An emerging neighbourhood feel is building here, with new households gradually reshaping local life.
Growth momentum, plus schools and education push the suburb to a good desirability read, even as community and employment look more ordinary among similar metro suburbs.

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).
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.
