Asquith Normanhurst

Asquith and Normanhurst are neighbouring areas with very different housing and streetscapes. Asquith is a walker's paradise, where almost every home is within a 15-minute walk of health services and groceries. It has a more mobile and diverse population, with 47.5% born overseas and 58.2% moving in during the last five years. In contrast, Normanhurst is more residential and established; separate houses are far more common at 78.8%, and 33.9% of homes are owned outright. Residents in Normanhurst are also noticeably older, with a typical age of 41 compared to 36 in Asquith.

Both areas share several core traits, including similar unemployment rates and nearly identical proportions of people who have no religion. This common ground exists alongside a clear divide in how people live. While Normanhurst has a higher share of large family homes with three or more bedrooms, Asquith has a much higher rate of renting at 35.0%. The gap in home ownership and household size has remained significant as these two neighbours have evolved.
