Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 2.3 km apart · Chapel Hill profile · Kenmore profile

Chapel Hill Kenmore

Chapel Hill and Kenmore are neighbouring suburbs with distinct local profiles. Chapel Hill is more walkable for errands, with 84.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to 54.4% in Kenmore. However, Kenmore is far better set up for students, with 86.2% of homes near a school and four schools in the area, while Chapel Hill has only one school and 50.5% of homes within walking distance. Chapel Hill also has a higher share of high earners, with 46.1% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 39.1% in Kenmore.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in some ways. The gap in the share of people born overseas and those using other languages at home has widened, with Chapel Hill now well higher in both. At the same time, the gap in the share of detached houses has narrowed. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in other respects, such as having nearly the same typical weekly income and almost identical shares of volunteers and people who served in the Defence Force.
