Fairfield (SA2 suburb) is a working-class to middle-income area. The 2021 Census recorded a median weekly household income of $1,092 (about $57,000 a year), well below the Sydney average, and a median age of 40 with 2.9 people per household, indicating a strong family presence rather than singles citation:2021 Fairfield (NSW), Census All persons QuickStats.

Country of birth

70.4% of Fairfield residents were born overseas, so the suburb is overwhelmingly immigrant-led rather than Australian-born citation:Fairfield – SA2 127021515 - AreaSearch. However, the specific most-common foreign country of birth (e.g. Vietnam or Iraq) with its exact percentage is not stated in the available census excerpts—these figures require access to the full BPLP table, which was not provided citation:2021 Fairfield (NSW), Census All persons QuickStats.

Further details would need to be checked directly with the school.

Suburb vibe and groceries

Fairfield is a dense, multicultural hub with a large Vietnamese and Middle Eastern community, but no specific specialty/ethnic supermarkets or grocers are named in the search results I was given.
