Serious Road Crashes

2021–2025

No crash in Henley killed anyone or put anyone in hospital in 2021–2025.

Crashes are counted where they happened, so a main road through the suburb carries people passing through; this is not a measure of risk to residents. Roads are listed with 3 or more serious crashes.

Council Flood Studies

The Council Of The Municipality Of Hunters Hill has published 1 flood study on the NSW Flood Data Portal. The mapped flood areas are in those studies; SuburbScan does not hold them.

Schools

No schools in this suburb boundary.

Universities nearby

6.4% of residents here are full-time university students aged 15–24.

Distance is measured to the suburb centre. A campus nearby does not by itself mean a student rental market — most suburbs within a few kilometres of one have a student share close to the national norm, and the figure above is what tells them apart.
