Page vs Sydney

Federal Electorate comparison ≈ 646 km apart · Page profile · Sydney profile

Page Sydney

Sydney and Page are very different New South Wales areas. Sydney is a young, highly educated, and multicultural hub where the typical resident is 33 and 48.9% were born overseas. This is contrasted with Page, where residents are far older with a typical age of 46 and 24.3% aged 65 or over. Sydney also sees much higher typical incomes, with a typical weekly household income of $2,225 compared to $1,236 in Page. Housing varies wildly; 64.2% of Sydney households rent, while 42.0% of homes in Page are owned outright.

Both areas share a similar unemployment rate, sitting around 5.2% to 5.6%. However, many of the gaps between them have grown since 2011. The difference in overseas births has widened to 39 percentage points, and the gap in typical weekly household income has increased. While Sydney has become more typical of a high-income urban centre, Page remains an area where separate houses are common and a much higher share of residents have long-term health conditions.
