Homebush Rookwood Cemetery

Homebush and Rookwood Cemetery are neighbouring areas with very different roles. Homebush is a populous residential hub where the typical resident is 31 and the usual weekly rent is $450. It is very walkable, with nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Rookwood Cemetery is sparsely populated with just 3 residents. Life there is very different; the typical resident is far older at 51, and the usual weekly rent is much lower at $243.

These two areas have drifted further apart since 2011. The gap in typical ages has widened by one year, and the difference in typical rent has grown significantly from $30 to $207. Despite these trends, the two places share some basic traits, such as having a similar number of schools within 3km and almost identical typical household incomes.
