Caringbah South Dolans Bay

Caringbah South and Dolans Bay are neighbouring areas in the Sutherland Shire, though they offer different lifestyles. Dolans Bay is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $3,542 compared to $2,721 in Caringbah South. Homes in Dolans Bay are more likely to be separate houses (91.8% versus 76.6%) and are often larger, with 5 or more bedrooms being far more common. In contrast, Caringbah South is much more convenient for pedestrians; 85% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services, while only 13.7% of homes in Dolans Bay have that access.

These two areas have remained very similar in many ways since 2011, such as the share of people who own their homes outright and the drive time to the city. Both areas are also well above the national figure for typical household incomes. However, some gaps have shifted, with Caringbah South remaining far more connected via public transport and having a much higher number of schools within 3 km.
