Lakemba Wiley Park

Lakemba and Wiley Park are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with several distinct differences in activity and infrastructure. Lakemba is a larger hub with far more businesses, 53 public transport stops, and a walkability score described as a walker's paradise. It also has far more schools and a higher share of people who rent their homes. Wiley Park is smaller and has a higher share of separate houses and homes with three or more bedrooms, while its walkability is described as very walkable.

These two areas are very similar in other ways, such as their typical household incomes and the high proportion of people who use a language other than English at home. The gap in rental shares has widened since 2016, though both areas now have rental rates far above the national figure. They also share a similar age profile, with the typical resident in both places being around 31 or 32 years old.
