Bonnet Bay Como

Como (NSW) and Bonnet Bay are neighbouring areas in the Sutherland Shire, but they offer very different lifestyles. Como (NSW) is more walkable, with 97.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services compared to just 6.5% in Bonnet Bay. It is also a younger community, where children under 15 make up 22.7% of the population, which helps explain why 35.3% of adults provide unpaid childcare. In contrast, Bonnet Bay has a higher share of older residents, with 21.3% aged 65 and over, and a higher proportion of large, detached houses owned outright.

The gap in accessibility between the two areas has widened over time, as Como (NSW) has become far more walkable than Bonnet Bay. Despite this, they share many similarities, including a similar share of high-income households and almost identical typical weekly incomes of around $3,100. Both areas also have a very high proportion of people working from home compared to the national figure.
