Arncliffe and Brighton-Le-Sands are neighbouring areas with very different demographics. Arncliffe is much younger, with a typical resident aged 34 compared to 43 in Brighton-Le-Sands. This younger profile in Arncliffe is consistent with a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals (20.2% versus 10.1%) and a typical weekly household income that is well higher at $2,046.
