Abbotsford Wareemba

Abbotsford (NSW) and Wareemba are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct housing and age profiles. Wareemba has far more separate houses, at 55.4% compared to 28.7% in Abbotsford (NSW), and it is a more family-oriented place where children under 15 make up 18.2% of the population. In contrast, Abbotsford (NSW) is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 47 and a much higher share of people aged 65 and over at 26.2%.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, with nearly identical typical weekly household incomes of around $2,270 and similar rates of long-term health conditions. Both areas are highly walkable, though Wareemba is a walker's paradise and every home there is within a 15-minute walk of a school and groceries.
