Goldstein Macnamara

Macnamara and Goldstein are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Macnamara is a high-density hub where 51.5% of homes are rented and 41.3% of people live alone. In contrast, Goldstein is more suburban; separate houses are far more common at 58.2%, and 38.4% of homes are owned outright.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who speak little or no English. They also share similar rates of volunteering and working from home. However, the gap in housing has grown significantly since 2011, as separate houses and outright home ownership have become much more common in Goldstein compared to Macnamara.
