Church Point Warriewood

Warriewood and Church Point are neighbouring areas on the Northern Beaches with very different own profiles. Warriewood is a younger, family-focused area where 21.8% of people are children under 15, and 33% of adults provide unpaid childcare. In contrast, Church Point is much older; the typical resident is 54 and nearly 30% of the population is aged 65 or over. This is reflected in the housing, with Church Point being mostly car-dependent and dominated by detached houses (91.7%), while Warriewood is very walkable and has a higher share of townhouses and apartments.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people aged 65 and over, though Church Point is far above it. They also share a similar proportion of residents who have served in the Defence Force and a nearly identical rate of commuting by public transport. While Warriewood has more people working or looking for work, Church Point has a higher share of people born overseas and more homes owned outright.
