Bexley Bexley North

Bexley and Bexley North are neighbouring areas with a distinct difference in how they are built. Bexley North is dominated by detached houses, which are far more common there than in Bexley. Residents in Bexley North also have much better access to health services, with 93.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk compared to 51.7% in Bexley. In contrast, Bexley has more schools per 1,000 children and a higher share of people born overseas (43.4% versus 38.2%).

Both areas have tracked closely since 2011, maintaining very similar typical weekly personal incomes of $735. They share a strong connection to migration, with both sitting far above the national figure for people using a language other than English at home. This commonality extends to their workforce, as both have a high number of people working from home compared to the rest of Australia. While some gaps in income and education remain, they both stay well above the national average for adults with a bachelor degree or higher.
