Suburb profile

At the heart of the metro area, Sydney Olympic Park is a mid-sized suburb where cafés, culture and everyday convenience overlap. The community skews younger, with schools and childcare nearby. This is a strongly multicultural suburb: overseas-born and multilingual households make up much of the community.

Outdoor life is easy here, with generous parks and room for kids, dogs and weekend strolls. Daily life works well on foot, with buses, trams, and trains also serving the suburb. Housing is expensive relative to much of the state.

Crime trends have improved of late compared with the previous period. Occasional new builds add variety while most of the suburb keeps its established look.

Against similar metro suburbs, community and employment stand out and the overall desirability rating is good, with growth momentum less decisive.

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 (~11,150), extrapolated at +13.2% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

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.
