Reid Wentworth

Reid and Wentworth are two nearby Sydney areas with very different social profiles. Reid is far more linguistically diverse; 54.0% of people use a language other than English at home, compared with 18.0% in Wentworth. Reid also has a much higher share of overseas-born residents at 51.8%, while Wentworth's is 37.5%. In contrast, Wentworth has a more highly qualified and wealthier population, with 53.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher and a typical weekly family income of $3,991, which is $1,535 higher than the $2,456 typical in Reid.

Since 2011, these two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several key measures. The gap in overseas births and home language use has flipped, with Reid now seeing much higher growth in these areas. At the same time, the gap in typical family incomes has widened. Despite these shifts, they share some similarities, such as having roughly the same share of children under 15 and nearly identical access to parks and groceries within a 15-minute walk.
