suburbs like Redfern and Darlington provide suburban data while suburbs like Waterloo are incorporated
statistically with Zetland as is Eveleigh with Erskineville. Below from the
city of Sydney’s
website we have provided links to the suburban profiles for REDW and for one of
the Inner South LAP area which combines some of the area. Links to surrounding

The
ABS site allows the extraction of data for Waterloo
as well as Redfern and Darlington. Note in the
ABS database Eveleigh is not recognised as a suburb (Eveleigh, the area of the
former Railyards became a suburb in April 1998). North Eveleigh is taken up in
Darlington while South Eveleigh is part of
Erskineville. The links for suburban statistics on the ABS website for the 2006
census are as follows:
