Bondi Vaucluse

Bondi and Vaucluse are neighbouring areas with very different lifestyles. Bondi is a young, mobile hub where the typical resident is 34 and 56.8% of homes are rented. In contrast, Vaucluse is older, with a typical age of 43 and a far higher share of homeowners, with 39.3% owning their place outright. The two areas also differ in their housing and demographics; Vaucluse has far more separate houses (48.7%) and larger homes, while Bondi has far more flats and apartments (79.6%) and a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 29.4%.

While these areas diverge in many ways, the gap in typical weekly personal income is almost non-existent, with both sitting around $1,390. They also share similar levels of school advantage and a small population of people who speak little or no English. These commonalities exist even as other differences shift, such as the share of people who have moved in the last five years, which is far higher in Bondi at 56.4% compared to 36.6% in Vaucluse.
