Chifley Greenway

Chifley and Greenway are two large, neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with similar populations. Greenway has a notably more qualified workforce, with 35.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 24.7% in Chifley. This is consistent with a higher share of households in Greenway earning $3,000 or more a week (33.4% versus 21.9%) and more people working from home (39.0% versus 27.1%). In contrast, Chifley has a higher share of one-parent families (17.1% versus 11.1%) and more households that rent (37.7% versus 31.7%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who completed Year 12. Beyond this, they share many similarities, including nearly identical numbers of people per home and very similar proportions of children and seniors. While the two areas have tracked closely in some measures, the gap in people working from home has widened since 2016, and the difference in high-income households has grown since 2011.
