Suburb socio-economic profile

Cabramatta is a working-class, migrant-heavy suburb with a median age of 40 and a median weekly household income of $1,184 — well below the Sydney average, reflecting a largely blue-collar, price-sensitive population citation:2021 Cabramatta, Census All persons QuickStats. There are 5,275 families and an average of 3 people per household, with 1.7 children per family for those with kids citation:2021 Cabramatta, Census All persons QuickStats. The suburb is dominated by Vietnamese, Chinese and Khmer ancestries, so the socio-economic profile skews immigrant, working-class and family-oriented rather than affluent citation:Ancestry | Fairfield City | Community profile.

Most common foreign country of birth
