Sydney Moncrieff

Sydney and Moncrieff are two large, far-apart areas with very different lifestyles. Sydney is a high-earning hub where 52.4% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 34.7% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Moncrieff is much older, with 19.8% of people aged 65 and over compared to just 9.2% in Sydney. Housing differs sharply too; Moncrieff has far more separate houses (40.6%) and large homes with three or more bedrooms (54.7%), while Sydney is dominated by apartments and rentals.

Both areas have similar unemployment rates, which sit close to the national figure. They also share a similar proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. However, the gap between them in several areas has shifted since 2011. Sydney has become far more likely to be a place where people work from home and use another language, while Moncrieff has seen a growing lead in the share of homes owned outright.
