Where separate houses are the exception

Waverton's mix of homes runs the other way from the state's. Flats and apartments account for 50% of occupied homes, above the 22% across NSW, and separate houses for 18%, below the 66% across NSW. With townhouses, terraces and semi-detached houses also above the state, the figures suggest a larger share of homes in apartment buildings or attached homes than across NSW.

Bedroom counts follow the building types. 56% of homes in Waverton have two bedrooms or fewer, above the 30% across NSW, while 32% have three bedrooms (35% across NSW) and 11% have four or more (34% across NSW), both below the state. On Census night, 12% of private dwellings in Waverton were unoccupied, above the 9% across NSW.

New South Wales, the same way: 66 houses, 22 flats, 33 rented. Other or not stated also takes up the rounding.

Renting, mortgages and incomes in Waverton

47% of households in Waverton rent, above the 33% across NSW, and 84% of those renting households rent from a landlord the ABS records as a real estate agent, against 69% across NSW. Median rent is $600 a week, above the state's $420. Median household income is $2,890 a week, above the $1,829 across NSW. Worked out on this page from those two medians, the median weekly rent equals 21% of the median weekly income of all Waverton households, below the 23% across NSW, and it is not what any renter pays.

Paying off a mortgage is less common here: 18% of households are doing so, below the 33% across NSW, though the median mortgage repayment of $3,053 a month sits above the state's $2,167. Outright ownership is above the state, at 33% of households in Waverton against 32% across NSW, so owning outright sits on the higher side while paying a mortgage sits on the lower.

Small households, and a smaller same-address share

Households in Waverton are small. The average household holds 2.1 people, below the 2.6 across NSW, which suggests fewer people sharing each home than across the state. 2,981 people lived in the suburb of Waverton at the 2021 Census, and their median age is 39 years, the same as the median across NSW, so on age alone the suburb matches the state.

45% of people aged five and over in Waverton lived at the same address five years earlier, below the 54% across NSW. That comes from one 2021 question about where each person lived in 2016. The figure suggests a smaller share of people aged five and over at the same address in 2021 as in 2016 than across NSW.
