Cabramatta Wakeley

Cabramatta and Wakeley are neighbouring areas with very different housing and social profiles. Wakeley is dominated by separate houses, with 85.7% of homes being detached and 91% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Cabramatta has a much more diverse mix, where flats or apartments make up 38.7% of homes and 47.2% of households are renting. There is also a notable gap in language and income; 35.3% of Cabramatta residents speak little or no English, and the typical weekly household income is $1,184, which is well below Wakeley's $1,553.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, as both have nearly identical access to parks and schools within a 15-minute walk. They are also both very diverse areas where the majority of people were born overseas and use a language other than English at home. While Cabramatta has a higher share of people born overseas (65.4%) and more people using other languages (79.8%), both areas sit far above the national figures for these measures.
