Botany Eastlakes

Botany and Eastlakes are neighbouring areas in Sydney's south, but they differ sharply in wealth and demographics. Botany is much more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $2,373 compared to $1,411 in Eastlakes. A higher share of Botany residents are working or looking for work (69.0% vs 54.7%), while Eastlakes has a much larger proportion of people born overseas (49.9% vs 32.5%) and those using a language other than English at home (53.1% vs 24.9%).

These two places share a similar daily environment, as both have the same 12-minute drive time to the city and almost every home is within a short walk of a park or public transport. However, the gap in mobility is widening, as Eastlakes is now a walker's paradise with 99.9% of homes within 15 minutes of groceries, while Botany is very walkable but only 70.3% of its homes have that same easy access to food. This contrast is further highlighted by the 21.1% of Eastlakes homes with no car, compared to just 7.1% in Botany.
