Botany Kogarah - Rockdale

Kogarah - Rockdale and Botany are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Kogarah - Rockdale is larger and older, with a typical resident aged 37 and a far higher number of schools. It is also more linguistically diverse, with 55.1% of people using another language at home. In contrast, Botany has a younger feel, with a typical resident aged 33 and a much higher share of renters at 49.4%. Botany is also more transient, as 51.2% of its residents moved house in the last five years.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. This is seen in the housing market, where the difference in the share of separate houses and outright home ownership has grown. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They have almost identical shares of children under 15 and people born overseas, and both have typical household incomes that sit near the national figure.
