Canterbury-Bankstown Liverpool

Canterbury-Bankstown and Liverpool are both large, diverse areas of Greater Sydney, but they offer very different living patterns. Canterbury-Bankstown is much more walkable, with 99.7% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a typical 1-minute walk to the nearest stop. In contrast, Liverpool is more car-dependent, with a typical 19-minute walk to a stop and a longer 37-minute drive to the city compared to 23 minutes in Canterbury-Bankstown. Homes in Liverpool also tend to be larger; 78.6% have three or more bedrooms, which is far higher than the 62.5% in Canterbury-Bankstown.

Both areas are very similar when it comes to health, with roughly the same share of people living with long-term health conditions. This shared experience exists alongside other commonalities, such as having nearly identical proportions of people who provide unpaid care. While both areas have a high share of residents who speak a language other than English, the gap between them has narrowed since 2016.
