Austral Cecil Park

Austral and Cecil Park are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Austral is a young, diverse hub where the typical resident is 31 and 25.4% of the population are children under 15. It has a high proportion of university-educated adults (26.9%) and a strong international presence, with 43.7% born overseas and 52.7% using another language at home. In contrast, Cecil Park is much older; the typical resident is 43 and 20.1% are aged 65 and over. Cecil Park also sees far more home ownership, with 48.6% of homes owned outright compared to just 17.1% in Austral.

While the two areas have tracked in different directions since 2011, they share some everyday similarities. Both have almost identical rates of people working from home (around 32%) and an equal share of homes with three or more bedrooms. They also have similar proportions of people who have served in the Defence Force and those who volunteer. However, their accessibility differs sharply: Austral has far more frequent public transport and many more homes within walking distance of schools, groceries and parks, while Cecil Park is more car-dependent.
