Bonnet Bay Sutherland

Sutherland (NSW) and Bonnet Bay are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Sutherland (NSW) is a dense hub where most people live in flats or apartments, and 42.4% of households rent. In contrast, Bonnet Bay consists almost entirely of separate houses, with 99.3% being detached homes and a high 44.8% owned outright. Wealth also differs significantly, as 49.8% of Bonnet Bay households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 22.9% in Sutherland (NSW). This shift is reflected in the homes, where 97.6% of Bonnet Bay's dwellings have three or more bedrooms, while only 30.5% do in Sutherland (NSW).

Everyday life in both places shares several common traits, including very similar typical weekly incomes of around $1,100 and an almost identical distance to the city. While Sutherland (NSW) is a walker's paradise with a walkability score of 8.1 and a high share of people living alone (34.8%), Bonnet Bay is somewhat walkable with a score of 5.5. The two areas also have similar proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. However, the gap in housing tenure is stark, as renting is far higher in Sutherland (NSW) than in Bonnet Bay.
