Bradfield Reid

Reid and Bradfield are both large areas in Greater Sydney, but they have very different housing and social profiles. Bradfield is much more likely to have separate houses (59.0% compared to 30.7% in Reid) and larger homes, with 68.3% having three or more bedrooms. It is also wealthier, with 43.0% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and more people owning their homes outright. In contrast, Reid is a hub for renters, who make up 44.8% of households, and is more linguistically diverse, with 54.0% of people using a language other than English at home.

Both areas provide very similar access to nature, with almost every home in both places being within a 15-minute walk of a park. However, the gap in home ownership has widened since 2011, and the difference in housing types has grown as Reid has become more apartment-heavy. While both areas have a high proportion of university-educated adults, the typical resident in Bradfield is noticeably older at 41, compared to 35 in Reid.
