Auburn Rosehill

Auburn and Rosehill are neighbouring areas in Western Sydney with distinct profiles. Auburn is much larger and has a more diverse linguistic makeup, with 78.7% of people using another language at home and 22.9% speaking little or no English. Rosehill is more likely to have residents with higher qualifications, with 46.3% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 24.1% in Auburn. Housing also differs, as Auburn has far more separate houses (42%) and larger three-bedroom homes (51.9%), while Rosehill is dominated by apartments.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people with no religion, at about 17%. They are also very similar in their proportions of people born overseas, which is around 64% for both. This shared international background is seen alongside a trend of high mobility, as many residents in both areas have moved recently, though this is far higher in Rosehill where 60% arrived in the last five years.
