Caringbah Port Hacking

Caringbah and Port Hacking are neighbouring areas in the Sutherland Shire with very different housing and income profiles. Port Hacking is much wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $3,394 compared to $1,890 in Caringbah. This wealth is reflected in the homes; Port Hacking is dominated by large detached houses, with 95.8% having three or more bedrooms, while Caringbah has far more flats and apartments. In contrast, Caringbah is a walker's paradise with high street connectivity and easy access to health services and groceries, whereas Port Hacking is only somewhat walkable and has no health services within a 15-minute walk.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, though they maintain distinct characters. They share similar profiles in terms of their small First Nations and non-English speaking populations, and both provide every resident with a park within a 15-minute walk. While Caringbah has seen a much higher influx of new residents over the last five years, Port Hacking remains more stable, with a higher share of homes owned outright and far fewer renters than its neighbour.
