Sydney - Blacktown Warrnambool and South West

Sydney - Blacktown and Warrnambool and South West are very different places. Sydney - Blacktown is a much younger area, with a typical resident aged 34 compared to 45 in Warrnambool and South West. It is also far more diverse, with 44.6% of people born overseas and 46.5% using a language other than English at home, while those figures are just 8.8% and 4.0% in Warrnambool and South West. Housing costs are also significantly higher in Sydney - Blacktown, where the typical monthly home loan payment is $2,383, which is $1,083 more than the usual payment in Warrnambool and South West.

Despite these gaps, both areas share similar levels of school advantage and a nearly identical share of one-parent families. Much of the distance between them has grown over time, as the gap in the share of people with no religion has widened and the difference in home ownership has increased. The two areas have also drifted apart in their work habits; the share of people working from home is now 20.1% higher in Sydney - Blacktown, a trend that has completely flipped since 2011.
