Greenway Werriwa

Greenway and Werriwa are both large, populous areas in Greater Sydney, but they differ significantly in employment and education. Greenway has a much higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (35.0% compared to 20.0% in Werriwa) and a far higher rate of people working or looking for work (64.6% versus 52.6%). This is consistent with a higher typical weekly personal income in Greenway, which is $931, well higher than the $671 seen in Werriwa.

Both areas have a similar age profile, with children under 15 making up about 22% of the population, a figure close to the national average. They also share similar household sizes and rates of long-term health conditions. While both are diverse, the gap in the share of people using another language at home has narrowed since 2011, as Greenway has seen an increase in this trend.
