Bondi Beach Tamarama

Bondi Beach and Tamarama are neighbouring coastal areas with very different profiles. Bondi Beach is a high-density hub where 65.9% of homes are rented and 36.1% of people live alone. It has a much more international feel, with 45.3% of residents born overseas and 33% arriving recently. In contrast, Tamarama is wealthier and more settled; the typical household income is $4,522 per week, far higher than the $2,795 seen in Bondi Beach. Homes in Tamarama are also larger and more likely to be owned outright, with 23.3% being separate houses compared to just 4.1% in Bondi Beach.

The two areas share a similar professional workforce, with nearly 60% of people in both places working from home. However, the gap in how people get around is widening, with Bondi Beach becoming far more reliant on public transport. This is seen in the 26.7% of Bondi Beach homes with no motor vehicle, which is far higher than the 6.8% in Tamarama.
