Castlecrag is dominated by separate houses, with 97.4% of homes being detached, while Cammeray is much more compact, with 59.6% of residents living in flats or apartments. This contrast extends to income and tenure; typical weekly household income is far higher in Castlecrag at $4,675 compared to $2,870 in Cammeray, and renting is far higher in Cammeray at 41.3% compared to just 10.9% in Castlecrag. Cammeray is a walker's paradise with high street connectivity and nearly every home within a 15-minute walk of groceries and schools, whereas Castlecrag is only somewhat walkable.

Since 2011, these two areas have tracked differently, with Cammeray becoming much more transient as 49.0% of its people moved in the last five years.
