Strata schemes
442 strata schemes are registered in Parramatta, with 14,365 lots between them, and 70% of its addresses are in one (NSW 25%). They were registered 30.1 years ago on average (NSW 29.1), which dates the scheme, not always its building.
A scheme is counted where most of its addresses are. Lots include the garages, storerooms and shops a plan makes lots of, and a scheme that has been wound up leaves the register.

First home buyers and transfer duty
In 2025–26, about 425 first home buyers in Parramatta were let off transfer duty or paid less under a NSW first home buyer scheme, up from 387 the year before. That's 1.3% of the 32,137 across NSW. Transfer duty on residential property here came to about $22.5M, 0.2% of NSW's $10.6bn. Revenue NSW counts by postcode, so these are estimates: each postcode's figures are split by where its homes are.

They're counted differently, so compare how each changed, not the amounts. Both run from 2020–21, the first year of the postcode figures.
Exemptions are counted when the transfer is lodged and grants when they're paid, so the two don't match. Duty is the amount paid, not a count of sales.

How did Parramatta vote?
Federal elections
At the 2025 federal election, the two-party-preferred vote in Parramatta split an estimated 69.5% Labor to 30.5% Coalition, against 55.3% to 44.7% across NSW. That's a swing of 11.9 points to Labor since 2022 (across NSW, 3.9 points to Labor). Like every figure here, it's estimated from the polling places where votes were cast, not where voters live: built from 50% of the formal votes cast in its electorates.

Bowerbird's model of what each club's and hotel's machines kept after paying out prizes, before gaming tax, fitted to Liquor & Gaming NSW's venue rankings, machine counts and council totals and added up by where the venues are. Liquor & Gaming NSW publishes no such figure, so read it as a rough one: a venue that made a loss reads as a small profit, and where clubs' own accounts were reported, most read 5% to 12% below the model. Venues' takings include visitors, so this isn't what the area's own residents lost. Hotel years run January to December and club years December to November.

Bulk, part and nominal sales excluded; medians need at least 5 sales. Homes are what VG records as a residence; vacant land and commercial, farm and other property are counted apart.

The ABS's estimate of the people who usually live in each area at 30 June, updated every year from the Census, births, deaths and migration (June 2025 figures, released March 2026). The ABS publishes SA2s and councils; a suburb's or postcode's figure shares its SA2s' estimates out by their 2021 Census residents, so growth inside an SA2 is spread evenly across it; a place's growth is worked out from those figures. Growth is left out where fewer than 100 people lived the year before. CC BY 4.0.

Income counts the residents who lodged a tax return, by where they live; government pensions and allowances are left out, and medians and shares where fewer than 100 people earned that income. Businesses are those registered for GST, counted by the address they give, with the share turning over $2 million or more shown where there are at least 50. The ABS publishes SA2s and councils; a suburb's or postcode's income is the average of its SA2s', weighted by the residents it shares with each (2021 Census), and its business counts share its SA2s' out the same way, so both are estimates.

- Australian Electoral Commission, House of Representatives results by polling place, and votes by where electors live (SA1), federal elections 2007–2025 (AEC Tally Room). Votes are counted where they are cast, not where voters live, so a place's figures are estimates. For 2019 and 2022 they come from the AEC's count of votes by the SA1 electors live in, which places nearly every vote; for the other elections, each election-day vote is placed at the polling places nearest the homes in its division, shared by their residents (2021 Census), and pre-poll, postal and absent votes can't be placed. So each figure shows the share of its electorates' formal votes it is built from. Two-party-preferred is Labor against the Coalition.

State figures are estimates, as for federal: each election-day vote is placed at the polling places nearest the homes in its district, shared by their residents (2021 Census), and pre-poll, postal, iVote and absent votes can't be placed, so each figure shows the share of its districts' formal votes it is built from. Two-party-preferred is Labor against the Coalition, from NSWEC's two-candidate count where the final two were Labor and the Coalition; districts where they weren't have no two-party figure. Council results are NSWEC's own counts for each council, ward and mayoralty, not estimates; a council's polling places place it, never its name.

TfNSW bands its accessibility index from the walk to nearby stops and how often they are served into levels 1 (low) to 6 (very high); 0 is our code for a mesh block with no service that hour. Averaged over residents (ABS 2021 mesh-block counts) for suburbs, postcodes and councils: a summary, not a level TfNSW publishes. CC BY.

Aerial surveys of Greater Sydney's urban and rural areas (ArborCarbon, 0.48 m imagery; the 2022 and 2024/25 surveys share a method). The share of land under vegetation taller than 3 m, summed from DPHI's modified mesh blocks to ABS mesh blocks (those at least half surveyed, with a 2016 code that is also a 2021 one) and weighted by the land surveyed for suburbs, postcodes and councils.

- Revenue NSW, duty, first home buyer and land tax statistics by postcode (revenue.nsw.gov.au), data as at 1 October 2026. Financial years to June 2026, each shown once it has ended: first home buyer duty exemptions and concessions from 2009–10, First Home Owner Grant payments from 2021–22 and transfer duty on residential land from 2020–21, each by the postcode on the lodged transfer or the grant. Exemptions are counted at lodgement and grants at payment, so the two don't match; duty is the amount paid, not a count of sales. Suburb and council figures are estimates, shared out from postcodes by their 2021 dwellings (ABS mesh blocks). CC BY.

Limited licences, pop-ups, producers and delivery-only businesses aren't counted, nor are venues that have stopped trading for six weeks or more. Hours tiers are what a licence allows, not when a venue opens. The list's licensees aren't shown.
- Bowerbird estimate, modelled from Liquor & Gaming NSW's gaming machine reports, © State of New South Wales, CC BY 4.0. Our estimate of each club's and hotel's net profit from its machines, before gaming tax, from 2017 (suburbs from 2021). Liquor & Gaming NSW publishes each venue's rank by net profit and its machines, and dollars only by council; the model fits the ranks to the council totals and adds the venues up by the postcode and council the rankings give and the suburb the premises list places them in. It isn't a published figure, and this release has a range for a venue (the map's venue card) but none for an area: on council rows held back, its median error is under 1%, and where clubs' own accounts were reported, most read 5% to 12% below it. A venue with a loss reads as a small profit. Takings include visitors. The latest year is a part year.

NSW Ambulance responses and incidents by financial year, and emergency (category 2) response times for the latest quarter, as BHI reports them by ABS statistical area (SA3). A suburb, postcode or council takes the figures of the SA3 around it, so they are the wider area's, not its own. Rates per 1,000 residents use the SA3's ABS estimated resident population. NSW Ambulance changed its response grid in February 2025, so responses either side of it don't strictly compare.

- Australian Bureau of Statistics, Building Approvals, Australia, CC BY 4.0: dwelling units approved by SA2 (ABS Data API). Dwelling units approved each month from July 2021, by councils and private certifiers: new houses, townhouses and apartments, and the dwellings alterations create, added up by financial year to June; the latest year runs to the latest month the ABS has published for small areas. An approval is what may be built, not what was. Per 1,000 residents divides by the ABS estimated resident population at the start of the year, left out under 200 residents. The ABS publishes SA2s and councils; a suburb's or postcode's figure shares its SA2s' approvals out by their 2021 Census residents, so it is an estimate. Original series, not seasonally adjusted.

Ages and eras date each scheme's registration, not its building. A scheme that has been wound up leaves the register. Creative Commons (no version stated).
