Barangaroo Sydney

Sydney and Barangaroo are neighbouring areas with very different resident profiles. Barangaroo is an affluent enclave where residents are far older, with a typical age of 40 compared to 32 in Sydney. Income is significantly higher in Barangaroo, where the typical household earns $4,591 a week, compared to $2,227 in Sydney. This wealth is also seen in housing costs, with typical weekly rents in Barangaroo reaching $1,246, far above the $600 typical in Sydney. Sydney is much more diverse, with 70.9% of people born overseas and 60.5% using another language at home, compared to 49.5% and 39.1% in Barangaroo.

Both areas are highly mobile, with around 70% of residents having moved in the last five years. They are also perfectly suited for walking, as 100% of homes in both places are within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 15-minute walk of a park.
