Separate houses almost everywhere
98% of occupied homes in Davidson are separate houses, above the 66% across NSW. Flats and apartments come to 1% of occupied homes (22% across NSW), and townhouses, terraces or semi-detached houses to fewer than 1%, below the state's 12%. Put plainly, the figures suggest a suburb of freestanding homes, where apartments and attached houses are rare in the 2021 count.
Bedroom numbers follow the same pattern. Beyond the 81% of homes with four or more bedrooms, 16% have three (35% across NSW) and 2% have two bedrooms or fewer (30% across NSW), both below the state. On Census night, 2% of private dwellings in Davidson were unoccupied, below the 9% across NSW, which suggests a smaller share of dwellings stood empty here than across the state when the count was taken.
A $1,000 median rent, and few renters
Median rent in Davidson is $1,000 a week, above the $420 across NSW. Yet renting is uncommon: 7% of households rent, below the 33% across NSW. Among those that do, 96% rent from a landlord the ABS records as a real estate agent, above the state's 69%. Worked out on this page from the two medians, the median weekly rent equals 31% of the median weekly income of all Davidson households, above the 23% across NSW. That share is not what any renter pays.
Both kinds of ownership are above the state. 47% of households are paying off a mortgage (33% across NSW) and 45% own their home outright (32% across NSW). The median mortgage repayment is $3,250 a month, against $2,167 across NSW, and median household income is $3,254 a week, above the $1,829 across NSW.
An older median age, and the same-address share
2,725 people lived in the suburb of Davidson at the 2021 Census. Their median age is 45 years, above the 39 across NSW, which suggests an older population than the state's as a whole. Households are larger too, with 3.1 people in an average household compared with 2.6 across NSW, so each home here tends to hold more people than the state's average home.
74% of people aged five and over in Davidson lived at the same address five years earlier, above the 54% across NSW. That figure comes from one 2021 question about where each person lived in 2016. It suggests a larger share of people aged five and over at the same address in 2021 as in 2016 than across NSW.
