Bilgola Beach is a wealthy enclave where the typical weekly household income is far higher at $4,299, compared to $1,885 in Bayview (NSW). This wealth is reflected in housing; Bilgola Beach consists entirely of detached houses, all of which have three or more bedrooms, while Bayview (NSW) has a mix of homes including townhouses and apartments. Residents in Bilgola Beach are also more likely to have a university degree (46.3%) and to have no religion (53.8%), both figures far higher than those in Bayview (NSW).
