Duval has too few residents. Below 300, a few incidents swing the per-person rate wildly, so we show counts but don't rank it.

Housing, rent and growth
Housing & rent
ABS Census 2021Median rent is 32% of median household income. In the 30–50% rental-stress range
| Measure | Value | vs other NSW suburbs |
|---|---|---|
| Median rent | $230/week | higher than 24% |
| Median household income | $725/week | higher than 3% |
| Rent as a share of income | 32% | higher than 93% |
| Average household size | 2.0 people | higher than 10% |
2021 Census figures: rents and incomes have risen since, so compare suburbs rather than reading today's prices. The rent share uses the median rent and the median income of all households (owners included), so it is a guide, not the share any one renter pays. The 30% benchmark is a common convention.
Growth & new homes
ABS Regional Population · Building Approvals| Measure | Value | vs other NSW areas |
|---|---|---|
| Population growth, 5 years 2020–2025 | +3.1% | higher than 56% |
| Population growth, last year 2024–2025 | +0.8% | higher than 57% |
| New homes approved, 12 months 12 months to Aug 2026 | 6 | higher than 10% |
| New homes approved per 1,000 residents 12 months to Aug 2026 | 1.3 | higher than 15% |
ABS publishes these for larger areas: figures are for “Armidale Surrounds - North”, which contains this suburb. Approvals are dwellings approved, not yet built. Growth and new supply are change indicators, not a price forecast.
Common questions about Duval
Where does this data come from?
Official recorded-crime statistics published by state police and crime statistics agencies, divided by 2021 Census or ABS population estimates. See the methodology page for details.
Data notes
- Population is estimated (medium confidence) from the ABS 2021 Census.
- Recorded crime counts offences reported to or detected by police where they occurred. That includes offences against visitors and businesses, so busy centres score higher than their resident risk.
- States classify offences differently, so ranks compare areas within the same state.
