Asquith Wahroonga

Wahroonga and Asquith are neighbouring areas with very different housing and demographic profiles. Wahroonga is an older area, where the typical resident is 44 and 22.2% are aged 65 or over. It is a wealthier place with more large detached houses; 83% of homes have three or more bedrooms, and 47.1% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. Asquith is much younger and more transient, with a typical age of 36 and 58.2% of people having moved there in the last five years. It is also more diverse, with 44% of residents using a language other than English at home.

Both areas share similar levels of unemployment and typical personal incomes, though the gap in home ownership is wide and persists. While 38.4% of Wahroonga residents own their homes outright, only 21.4% do so in Asquith. This contrast is consistent with the high rental rate in Asquith, which is far higher than in Wahroonga. Despite these different housing patterns, both areas have a high share of residents who live within a short walk of a park.
