Sydney - North Sydney and Hornsby Sydney - Outer West and Blue Mountains

Sydney - North Sydney and Hornsby and Sydney - Outer West and Blue Mountains are two very different parts of the city. The former is a highly educated and wealthy area where 53.0% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and the typical family earns $3,309 a week. It is also far more diverse, with 41.7% of people born overseas. In contrast, Sydney - Outer West and Blue Mountains is dominated by larger homes, with 82.5% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms, compared to 57.5% in the north. While the north is a walker's paradise, the outer west is very walkable but relies more on cars for travel.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. The difference in typical personal incomes has grown, and the divide in overseas births and university qualifications has also increased. Despite these shifts, the two areas track closely in other ways; they have almost identical unemployment rates of around 4% and share similar levels of unpaid care and housework. Both areas have also grown by about 5% since the last census.
