Belfield Greenacre

Greenacre and Belfield are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Greenacre is a younger area, where the typical resident is 33 and 23.9% of the population are children under 15. It is also more culturally diverse, with 65.5% of people using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Belfield has an older population, with a typical age of 40, and a higher proportion of households earning $3,000 or more per week (24.0% compared to 17.7% in Greenacre).

Some differences between the two are becoming more pronounced, such as the gap in accessibility to groceries, which is far higher in Greenacre. Despite this, they share many similarities, including nearly identical shares of people who speak little or no English. Both areas also have about the same proportion of one-parent families and an equal number of people per bedroom in their homes.
