ABS Census 2021 statistical areas (SA2). Boundaries: ABS ASGS 2021.

How to read this

  • Born in Iraq counts people born there. It does not count their children born in Australia, so the community is larger than this number.
  • This guide uses country of birth only. Language spoken at home is not shown: Arabic is spoken at home by people born in many countries, so an Arabic count would not describe the Iraqi community.
  • These are 2021 Census figures, now five years old. The community has likely grown since; we do not show growth because no newer count exists at this level.
  • The ABS slightly adjusts small counts to protect privacy, so treat small numbers as approximate. Areas with fewer than 100 people born in Iraq are not listed.
  • Each "area" is an ABS statistical area (SA2), which may cover one suburb or several. Areas are listed by the share of residents, not judged or scored.
  • To filter by budget, commute and other communities, use Community match. Guides for other communities are listed on Sydney community guides.
