Clontarf Mosman

Mosman and Clontarf (NSW) are neighbouring areas that offer very different lifestyles. Clontarf (NSW) is a wealthy enclave of large detached houses, where 92.7% of homes have three or more bedrooms and the typical weekly income is $4,609. In contrast, Mosman has a more varied housing mix, with 52% of residents living in flats or apartments and 33.1% of households renting. This difference is reflected in the rental market, where the typical weekly rent in Clontarf (NSW) is $1,250, far higher than the $590 seen in Mosman.

Both areas are almost identical in the proportion of people who speak little or no English. They also share similar levels of personal income and a nearly equal share of people with no religion. While Clontarf (NSW) is very walkable, Mosman is a walker's paradise with more public transport options and better access to shops and health services. These differences in urban design are consistent with Mosman's higher number of people living alone and its larger, more mobile population.
