Bulli Woonona

Woonona and Bulli are neighbouring coastal areas with a few striking differences. Bulli has a higher share of separate houses at 80.4%, compared to 63.2% in Woonona. Bulli also has a more affluent profile, with a typical weekly household income of $2,331, which is well higher than the $1,816 seen in Woonona. In contrast, Woonona has a notably older population; 21.4% of residents are aged 65 and over, compared to 14.9% in Bulli, and it has a higher share of people with long-term health conditions at 32.6%.

These two areas have tracked closely since 2011, and they still share many similarities. Both have very similar proportions of people born overseas and almost identical typical weekly rents. They also share a similar drive time to the city. However, some gaps are wide; Bulli has far more schools per 1,000 children (2.67) than Woonona (1.30). This is consistent with Bulli having a higher share of children under 15 and more adults who have completed Year 12.
