North Rocks Winston Hills

Winston Hills and North Rocks are neighbouring suburbs with distinct differences in diversity and layout. North Rocks is more multicultural, with 41.2% of people using a language other than English at home compared to 28.8% in Winston Hills. This is consistent with North Rocks having a higher share of people born overseas (39.8% versus 30.0%) and a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (40.9% versus 33.4%). While Winston Hills has more separate houses and better street connectivity, North Rocks has more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (37.2% versus 14.6%).

Both areas are very similar in their typical household incomes, which sit around $2,400 a week. They also share a similar proportion of residents aged 65 and over. However, the gap in the number of people born overseas has widened since 2011, and the difference in the share of people who identify as having no religion has also grown.
