Dividing one median by the other, a calculation made on this page rather than a Census figure, the median weekly rent in Thornton equals 20% of the median weekly income of all its households, renters or not. Across NSW the same share is 23%, so Thornton sits below the state on this measure.

Younger residents, more of them under each roof

Thornton's median age is 32 years, below 39 across NSW, which suggests a younger population than the state's. The suburb of Thornton had 10,690 residents at the 2021 Census, and its households hold 2.8 people on average, above the NSW average of 2.6.

In 2021, people were asked where they had lived in 2016. Of people aged five and over in Thornton, 50% gave the same address, below 54% across NSW. That suggests a smaller share of people aged five and over at the same address in 2021 as in 2016 than across the state as a whole.
