Burwood Canada Bay

Burwood (NSW) and Canada Bay are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Burwood (NSW) is a young, diverse hub where 69.2% of people were born overseas and 74.1% use a language other than English at home. Canada Bay is older and more affluent, with the typical resident aged 40 compared to 32 in Burwood (NSW), and a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (38.0% versus 21.3%). This contrast extends to housing, as Burwood (NSW) is dominated by rentals and apartments, while Canada Bay has far more separate houses and homes owned outright.

Both areas sit near the national figure for people who need help with daily activities, at around 4%. They also share a highly accessible lifestyle, with all homes in both places located within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 15-minute walk of a park. However, their transport habits differ; Burwood (NSW) is far more reliant on public transport and has many more homes without a motor vehicle.
