Caringbah South Yowie Bay

Caringbah South and Yowie Bay are neighbouring areas in the Sutherland Shire with very different layouts. Caringbah South is more urban, with a very walkable score of 7.4 and far more public transport options, including 68 stops. This makes it much easier to get around on foot, with 93% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a "city" hub and 85% near health services. Yowie Bay is more residential and car-dependent, with 85.9% of homes being separate houses and a somewhat walkable score of 5.7. It also has far more schools per 1,000 children (1.90 compared to 0.74 in Caringbah South) and a noticeably older typical resident at 46.

Both areas share very similar typical weekly personal incomes, which sit close to the national figure. They also have almost identical proportions of people born overseas and those who speak a language other than English at home. While Caringbah South has seen more people move in over the last five years, both neighbourhoods remain characterised by low rental rates and a high share of homeowners.
