Auburn Carlingford

Auburn and Carlingford are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and population profiles. Auburn is much more likely to have people born overseas (61.7%) and those using another language at home (71.6%). Renting is far more common in Auburn, where 49.2% of households rent, and the typical resident is younger at 33. Carlingford has a stronger focus on family homes, with 72.1% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms and 57.2% being separate houses. Residents there are generally older, with a typical age of 38, and 19.6% are children under 15.

While these areas differ in layout, the gap in the proportion of people born overseas has narrowed since 2011. They share several similarities, such as having almost the same number of schools and a similar typical weekly rent of around $460 to $470. Both areas also have a high share of university-qualified adults compared to the national figure. However, Auburn has seen a widening gap in its proportion of recent overseas arrivals, which is now 13 points higher than in Carlingford.
