Sydney Airport Mascot

Mascot and Sydney Airport are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Mascot is a large, diverse residential hub where 59.8% of people were born overseas and 56.1% use a language other than English at home. It is a highly educated area, with 43% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Sydney Airport is sparsely populated with only 19 residents, and it is much older, with 20.7% of people aged 65 and over compared to 7.5% in Mascot.

Typical weekly personal incomes are almost identical in both places, sitting at $994 in Mascot and $949 in Sydney Airport. While they share similar weather and terrain, the way people live differs greatly. Mascot is a walker's paradise with high street connectivity and easy access to schools and health services. Sydney Airport is mostly car-dependent and largely non-residential, which helps explain why 37.3% of Mascot's workforce works from home while no one does so in Sydney Airport.
