Abbotsbury Mount Vernon

Abbotsbury and Mount Vernon are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different layouts. Abbotsbury is more connected and diverse, with 36.1% of people born overseas and a walkability score that is somewhat walkable. In contrast, Mount Vernon is car-dependent, and while it has a lower share of overseas-born residents at 25.4%, its First Nations households earn far more, with a typical income of $4,249 compared to $1,375 in Abbotsbury. Education levels also differ, as Year 12 completion is far higher in Abbotsbury at 61.8% than the 48.5% seen in Mount Vernon.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, and they remain very alike in several ways today. They share the same proportion of people aged 65 and over (15.3%) and almost identical rates of people working or looking for work. Most homes in both places are separate houses with three or more bedrooms, and the typical commute time to the city is nearly the same, sitting around 35 to 37 minutes.
