Auburn - North Berala

Auburn - North and Berala are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Auburn - North is a high-density hub where 79.6% of homes are flats or apartments and 60.8% of households rent. It is a young, fast-growing area where 75.3% of people were born overseas and 41% arrived from overseas recently. In contrast, Berala is dominated by separate houses (60.7%) and has a more settled feel, with 32.4% of homes owned outright and a typical resident who is seven years older at 37.

Both areas are remarkably similar in their typical weekly incomes and the number of people living in each home. They also share a similar proportion of people who speak little or no English. However, the gaps between them are often widening. For example, the difference in the number of people working from home has grown significantly since 2016, and the gap in public transport use has also increased.
