Botany Rosebery

Rosebery and Botany are neighbouring areas in Sydney with very different characters. Rosebery is a a walker's paradise with high density, where 50.9% of people were born overseas and 45.1% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. It is a transient, younger place where 50.7% of households rent and 17.2% have no car. In contrast, Botany is more family-oriented and residential; it has a higher share of children under 15 (19.1%) and more large homes, with 48.8% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms.

These two areas share a very similar economic profile, with typical weekly household incomes sitting around $2,300.

While Rosebery has a much higher proportion of recent overseas arrivals, both areas remain well above the national figure for people born overseas.
