Castlecrag Willoughby

Willoughby (NSW) and Castlecrag are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Willoughby (NSW) is a walker's paradise where every home is within a 15-minute walk of groceries and schools, and 31% of households are renting. In contrast, Castlecrag is somewhat walkable and dominated by large family homes, with 97.4% of dwellings being separate houses and 48.6% owned outright. Wealth is very high in both, but Castlecrag has a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (62.8% compared to 47.9% in Willoughby (NSW)).

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, as the gap in how many people have moved recently is widening. Willoughby (NSW) has seen a far higher share of people move in over the last five years (39.8%) than Castlecrag (29.7%). They do share some common ground, such as similar unemployment rates and nearly identical access to parks and public transport.
