Kingsford Smith Reid

Reid and Kingsford Smith are both large, populous areas of Sydney with significant overseas populations. Reid is notably more diverse, with 54% of people using a language other than English at home compared to 34.2% in Kingsford Smith. This multicultural character is reflected in the fact that 51.8% of Reid residents were born overseas, which is well higher than the 43.1% in Kingsford Smith. While Kingsford Smith has far more frequent public transport departures, Reid has far more public transport routes overall.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, as they share nearly identical typical weekly incomes of around $2,200 and the same share of homes owned outright at 24.5%.
