Bondi Beach and North Bondi are neighbouring areas with a distinct contrast in how people live. Bondi Beach is more transient and urban, with 65.9% of homes rented and 61.2% of people moving in within the last five years. It is also much more diverse, with 33.0% of residents being recent overseas arrivals. In contrast, North Bondi is more family-oriented; 19.9% of its population are children, compared to 11.0% in Bondi Beach. This is reflected in the housing, where North Bondi has far more three-bedroom homes (47.4% versus 21.8%) and a higher share of separate houses.
