Wyong Warringah

Wyong and Warringah are both large residential areas in New South Wales, but they differ sharply in wealth and education. Warringah is far more affluent, with a typical household income of $2,471 a week compared to $1,422 in Wyong. This is consistent with a workforce in Warringah where 35.7% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, while only 12.9% do in Wyong. Warringah is also more diverse and urban, being very walkable and having a far higher share of people born overseas (31.4% compared to 13.0% in Wyong).
