Banks Hughes

Banks and Hughes are nearby New South Wales areas with very different characters. Banks is much more diverse, with 40.1% of people born overseas and 46.3% using a language other than English at home. It is also more compact and walkable, with 94% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a local hub. In contrast, Hughes is more suburban, where 81.3% of homes have three or more bedrooms and 74.3% are separate houses. Hughes also has a higher typical weekly income of $997, compared to $782 in Banks.

Both areas have tracked in different directions since 2011, as the gaps in cultural diversity and rental rates have widened. While Banks has become increasingly diverse, the divide in housing types has narrowed slightly. Despite these shifts, they share some core traits: the typical resident in both areas is 39 years old, and roughly the same proportion of people work from home. Both also sit near the national figure for the number of people providing unpaid care.
