Most socio-economically advantaged suburbs in New South Wales

This ranks suburbs purely on a socio-economic measure from ABS Census data. It is not a measure of how good a suburb is to live in or visit — advantage is not the same as livability, character or value. How we calculate the Suburb Score.

Suburbs with no ABS SEIFA score (some very small or unpopulated localities) are not ranked. Where suburbs share an identical SEIFA score they share a Suburb Score. The Suburb Score is always a national percentile, so a state list shows how its top suburbs sit against the whole country — not just against each other.
