Suburb profile
North Parramatta is a lively inner established suburb with dining, shopping and leisure options right on the doorstep. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with family life visible on every street. Most local households sit in a multicultural mix, with overseas-born residents and languages other than English common at home.
Education outcomes and school provision stand out relative to comparable suburbs. Green space punches above what many metro suburbs offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. Most routine trips are on foot, while buses and trains cover longer journeys across the metro area.
Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs. Reported crime has been falling recently.
Among similar metro suburbs, the suburb earns a good desirability read, with community and employment the standout strengths.

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.
