Canada Bay and Leichhardt are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Canada Bay is far more multicultural, with 39.1% of people born overseas and 38.5% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Leichhardt has a much higher share of people reporting no religion (52.4% compared to 32.1% in Canada Bay) and a higher proportion of high earners, with 34.6% earning $2,000 or more a week. Leichhardt is also more compact, with a typical drive time to the city of just 6 minutes, while Canada Bay takes 13 minutes.
