Bayside Sydney

Sydney and Bayside (NSW) are neighbouring areas of Greater Sydney with distinct housing and social profiles. Sydney has a much higher share of renters (64.1%) and people living alone (41.1%), with a population that is far more likely to have a bachelor degree or higher (52.6%). In contrast, Bayside (NSW) is more established, with a far higher share of separate houses (34.5%) and three-bedroom homes (45.7%). Bayside (NSW) also has a much higher proportion of people using another language at home (51.5%) and more people with a religious affiliation.

Both areas are very similar in their diversity, with around 48% of residents born overseas, and both have an overall advantage score near the national figure. While they share these traits, the two areas differ in their daily rhythms; Sydney has a far higher rate of people working from home (52.3%) and more frequent public transport departures. This is consistent with Sydney's shorter drive time to the city and the fact that far more of its residents do not own a motor vehicle.
