Randwick Sydney

Sydney and Randwick are neighbouring areas with very different housing and social profiles. Sydney is dominated by renters, with 64.1% of homes rented compared to 46.4% in Randwick. It is also a place of smaller households, where 41.1% of people live alone and 39.3% of homes have no car. In contrast, Randwick has more family-oriented living; it has a far higher share of separate houses (26.8% versus 2.1%) and larger homes, with 46.7% having three or more bedrooms. Sydney also has a much higher proportion of people with no religion at 52.0%, while Randwick's figure is 37.1%.

The gap in renting has widened since 2011, but the two areas share many other similarities. Both have the same typical weekly rent of $550 and almost identical typical household incomes. They are also equally well-qualified and have similar levels of volunteering. While Sydney has a shorter drive time to the city and more street intersections, both are very accessible, with residents in both areas typically walking just 2 minutes to the nearest transport stop.
