Banksia Turrella

Banksia and Turrella are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and age profiles. Banksia is a much older community, where the typical resident is 41 and 18.6% are seniors. Homes here are mostly separate houses (77.6%), and 38.5% are owned outright. In contrast, Turrella is far younger, with a typical age of 32. It has a much higher share of renters (43.0%) and flats or apartments (44.8%), and 24.6% of residents arrived from overseas recently.

While these two areas have diverged in their housing and age structures, they remain very similar in other ways. Both have nearly identical typical weekly household incomes, a similar share of people working from home, and almost the same number of schools within 3 km. The gaps in their housing tenure and age profiles have widened since 2011, as Turrella has become more rental-heavy and younger compared to the more stable ownership seen in Banksia.
