Asquith North Wahroonga

Asquith and North Wahroonga are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Asquith is a younger, more mobile place where 58.2% of people moved in the last five years and 44.0% use a language other than English at home. It has more flats and smaller homes, and is much more walkable, with nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of shops and health services. North Wahroonga is older and more established, with residents far older and a typical age of 45. It is dominated by large separate houses, with 98.4% of homes having three or more bedrooms and 47.5% owned outright.

Both areas sit near the national figure for unemployment, which is 3.7% in Asquith and 4.0% in North Wahroonga. They also share a similar proportion of people with no religion. However, the gaps in housing and accessibility are stark; North Wahroonga has much higher typical weekly rents at $950 compared to $490 in Asquith. While Asquith is a walker's paradise, North Wahroonga is only somewhat walkable, with far fewer residents able to reach schools or groceries on foot.
