Common questions about Enfield

Answered from the data on this page

Is Enfield safe?

There is no single answer to that for any suburb, but the official numbers say this: across 5 property crime categories, Enfield sits above the NSW average in 1, below it in 4, on BOCSAR figures for Apr 2025 to Mar 2026. These are rates for the whole suburb, not any one street, and safety also depends on things no crime table shows. The table above lists each category against the NSW rate.

Is Enfield flood prone?

A suburb page cannot honestly answer that: flood planning areas are mapped lot by lot, and two houses on the same street can differ. The free PropertyFlags check looks up the actual address against the NSW flood planning layer, along with bushfire, contamination and other hazard maps.

Is Enfield growing?

The ABS area covering Enfield (Croydon Park - Enfield) is projected to go from 17,468 residents in 2021 to 19,730 by 2041, a change of +12.9%. Projections are planning inputs, not guarantees.

What does a property report for Enfield include?

For one address: flood and bushfire mapping, zoning and height controls, EPA contamination records, serious defect orders, development applications within 500 m, aircraft, rail and road noise, school catchments, winter sun and more, each finding named with the government register it came from, as red, yellow and green flags.
