Hornsby Ryde - Hunters Hill

Ryde - Hunters Hill and Hornsby are two nearby Sydney areas with very different housing and transport profiles. Ryde - Hunters Hill is much more densely populated, with a far higher share of renters (40.1%) and a very high proportion of people using another language at home (47.4%). In contrast, Hornsby has far more separate houses (61.4%) and larger homes, with 65.4% having three or more bedrooms. Life in Ryde - Hunters Hill is more connected, with a much shorter walk to public transport and a far higher number of weekly departures per 1,000 people.

The gap in housing types has widened since 2011, as Hornsby has become even more dominated by detached houses. Despite this shift, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They share almost identical typical weekly household incomes, and about the same percentage of residents are aged 65 or older. Both areas also have a high proportion of people born overseas compared to the national figure, though this is more pronounced in Ryde - Hunters Hill.
