Allambie Heights Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill and Allambie Heights are two large, neighbouring residential areas on the Northern Beaches. They differ most in how people get around and access services; Beacon Hill has far more walkable amenities and a shorter walk to the nearest transit stop (2 minutes compared to 18 minutes). However, Allambie Heights has a much higher share of homes within a short walk of health services (79.8% versus 30.0%) and more schools per 1,000 children. Beacon Hill also has a more diverse population, with 20.1% of residents using a language other than English at home, compared to 13.0% in Allambie Heights.

Both areas share a very similar profile in terms of wealth and education, with nearly identical typical weekly household incomes of around $2,900. This common ground extends to their housing and lifestyles, as both have about the same share of people in de facto relationships and similar rates of long-term health conditions. While they track closely, Allambie Heights has a slightly higher proportion of people living alone and a higher share of residents aged 65 and over.
