Chinese in Sydney – by suburbs
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) presents a lot of its information in terms of Statistical Local Areas (SLAs) – but realistically, that’s a strange category for most people. Much more understandable is the suburb - and so what I have today are some graphs showing you the number of people of Chinese ancestry in suburbs.
This first graph shows you the top 75 NSW suburbs with the highest number of people of Chinese ancestry. I’ve labelled every ten or so of them with the number, so you can work out the relative rankings. This helps you to work out that Epping (for example) is the 7th largest suburb in terms of Chinese population in NSW!
In this next graph I’ve worked out the proportions, and this shows the percentage of suburbs that are of Chinese ancestry, again showing the top 75 suburbs. Epping, for example, is #14 in terms of the proportion of people being of Chinese ancestry.
