Warringah Wentworth

Warringah and Wentworth are both well-off areas in Sydney, but they offer different styles of living. Warringah has a more suburban feel, with separate houses being far more common (41.1% compared to 17.3% in Wentworth) and a higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms. Residents in Warringah also tend to be slightly older, with a typical age of 40. In contrast, Wentworth is more densely packed with apartments, has a higher proportion of renters (44.6%), and is more connected for pedestrians, with a much higher number of street intersections per square kilometre.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to typical weekly household income, which is $2,870 for both. This shared financial standing sits alongside other similarities, such as having the same percentage of people aged 65 and over. However, some gaps have shifted since 2011; for example, the lead in the share of separate houses has flipped, and the gap in people born overseas has narrowed to 3.2%. While both are very walkable, Wentworth is more so, with a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services.
