Kellyville, NSW
By Lauren McCaleb · Reviewed by Dylan Duncan ·
Kellyville lies in Sydney's Hills District, about 36 kilometres north-west of the city centre in The Hills Shire. The land is the traditional country of the Bidjigal people, a clan of the Dharug. The suburb is believed to take its name from Hugh Kelly, an early publican whose Bird-In-Hand inn stood on Windsor Road, and the surrounding area was once nicknamed Irish Town for the Kelly clan who farmed there. After Kelly died in 1884, his holdings and neighbouring grants were subdivided into farmlets as the Kellyville Estate, fixing the present route of Windsor Road. Kellyville Public School dates to 1873 and the local post office opened in 1889. Semi-rural for much of the twentieth century, Kellyville became one of the fastest-growing parts of The Hills, and the Sydney Metro North West rail line reached the suburb in 2019.
Among Australia's more advantaged suburbs
Kellyville is more socio-economically advantaged than about 99% of the 14,462 Australian suburbs we score, based on the ABS SEIFA index (raw score 1147, where about 1000 is the national average).
A socio-economic measure from ABS Census data — not a measure of how good a suburb is to live in or visit. How we calculate this.
Is Kellyville a good place to live?
There’s no single answer — it depends on what matters to you. So instead of one mystery number, we break it down: a transparent score on each part of life we can back with public data, and an honest “not yet” on the parts we can’t.
Strong on the data we score
A weighted blend of the 3 components we can score for Kellyville from public data. It sits alongside — and reconciles with — the socio-economic Suburb Score above; it is a transparent read, not a complete verdict.

Not yet scored
We’d rather leave these open than publish a number we can’t stand behind. Here’s where each one stands.
- Green spaceNot scored yet — our OpenStreetMap green-space mapping is still rolling out across suburbs.
- TransportNot scored yet — our OpenStreetMap public-transport mapping is still rolling out across suburbs.
- SchoolsNot scored yet — school performance (ACARA / ICSEA) needs a data-reuse licence cleared before we can publish it.
- SafetyNot scored yet — Australia has no single open crime dataset and safety data carries defamation and legal care, so it is gated pending a go/no-go and will be data-only when added.
- CommunityNot scored yet — we won't reduce community to a number from a proxy. We'd rather leave it open than publish an invented value judgement.
A transparent read on public data, not a verdict — and not a measure of any person or community. See our methodology for how each component is worked out and why some aren’t scored yet.
