Chiswick Wareemba

Chiswick and Wareemba are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing styles. Wareemba is dominated by separate houses, with 55.4% of homes being detached, while Chiswick is primarily made up of flats or apartments (78.5%). This difference is reflected in ownership and size; 40.5% of Wareemba homes are owned outright compared to 25.5% in Chiswick, and Wareemba has a far higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms (54.5% versus 27.6%). Chiswick has a more mobile and qualified population, with 47.4% of people moving in the last five years and 43.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher.

Both areas are almost exactly the same when it comes to the typical weekly rent of $600, which sits near the national figure. They also share a similar proportion of First Nations residents and nearly identical drive times to the city. While Wareemba is generally more walkable for groceries and health services, Chiswick has much higher street connectivity. Since 2011, the gap in home ownership and housing types between these two neighbours has remained a defining divide.
