Sunshine North Braybrook

Braybrook and Sunshine North are neighbouring areas with very different housing and education profiles. Braybrook is a more transient hub where 43.2% of people moved in the last five years and 45.2% rent their homes. It has a more qualified workforce, with 31.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Sunshine North is more settled, with 37.6% of homes owned outright and a high share of detached houses (82.2%). It also has a stronger presence of people using another language at home, at 69.6% compared to 57.1% in Braybrook.

These two areas have tracked in different directions since 2011, with the gaps in education and language use both widening over time. Despite these shifting trends, they share many daily realities; both have similar typical weekly rents around $340 to $350 and almost identical shares of people providing unpaid care. They are also alike in their multicultural character, as both see a far higher proportion of people born overseas than the national figure.
