Caringbah Caringbah South

Caringbah South and Caringbah are neighbouring areas with very different housing and income profiles. Caringbah South is dominated by large, detached homes, with 92% of houses having three or more bedrooms and 76.6% being separate houses. It is also wealthier, with 43.5% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and 46.6% owning their home outright.

They also both have high proportions of residents with university degrees, though this is slightly more common in Caringbah South. Both areas sit well above the national figure for typical household income, even though Caringbah South is significantly higher.
