Bangor Bonnet Bay

Bangor (NSW) and Bonnet Bay are neighbouring areas in the Sutherland Shire with very different layouts. Bonnet Bay is almost entirely made up of separate houses (99.3%) and has far better access to public transport and groceries, with 84.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of shops. In contrast, Bangor (NSW) has a higher share of townhouses and more people living within a short walk of health services (68.2%), though far fewer are near groceries (9.2%).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining affluent pockets where the typical resident is well-qualified and earns above the national figure. They share a similar proportion of children under 15 and a nearly identical school advantage score. While they are effectively alike in these respects, Bonnet Bay has a higher share of people with bachelor degrees (36.0%) and more households earning $3,000 or more a week (49.8%) compared to Bangor (NSW).
