Belmore Strathfield South

Belmore and Strathfield South are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different social profiles. Strathfield South has a far higher share of university degrees at 38.0% compared to 22.5% in Belmore, and it is far more likely to have households earning $3,000 or more a week (28.8% versus 16.2%). This higher earning power is consistent with a workforce where more people are professionals and managers, while Belmore has a well higher share of people who speak little or no English (14.1% versus 8.6%).

These two areas have tracked closely in some ways, such as their typical resident age of 38 years, but the gap in educational attainment is widening.
