Bennelong Berowra

Bennelong and Berowra are two nearby Sydney areas with very different lifestyles. Bennelong is a very walkable hub where 50.5% of people were born overseas and 52.4% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Berowra is more spread out, with a higher share of detached houses (82.5% compared to 44.5% in Bennelong) and a much higher proportion of homes with three or more bedrooms (85.1% vs 53.9%). Berowra also has more high-income households, with 41.7% earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 31.2% in Bennelong.
