Booyong Nashua

Nashua and Booyong are neighbouring areas in New South Wales that differ significantly in their demographics and wealth. Nashua has a much younger family feel, with 18.4% of people under 15 compared to just 4.8% in Booyong. Financial standing also varies; 27.9% of Nashua households earn $3,000 or more a week, while only 12.9% of Booyong households do. This difference extends to home ownership, with 53.5% of homes in Nashua owned outright, which is 18 percentage points higher than in Booyong.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, and they share many commonalities today. They have almost identical typical weekly rents, around $450 to $460, and nearly the same share of residents who completed Year 12. Everyday life is similar in that no one in either area commutes by public transport and every home has a motor vehicle. However, access to amenities differs, as Nashua has a few public transport stops while Booyong is more dependent on cars and has more homes within a 15-minute walk of a park.
