Darlinghurst Woollahra

Darlinghurst and Woollahra are neighbouring areas with very different home and family lives. Darlinghurst is a hub for single adults and renters, with 51.7% of people living alone and 61.9% of homes rented. In contrast, Woollahra has more families and homeowners; 50.3% of its homes have three or more bedrooms, and 36.2% are owned outright. Woollahra is also much older and more family-focused, with 23.5% of people aged 65 and over and 15.5% of the population under 15, while Darlinghurst has only 11.3% of seniors and 5.2% of children.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in some ways while growing closer in others. The gap in renting and the number of people living alone has widened, but the difference in typical age has narrowed slightly to five years. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in their high levels of education and job skills. Both areas are also very well connected for pedestrians, with a short two-minute walk to the nearest transport stop.
