Connells Point Hurstville

Hurstville and Connells Point are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Hurstville is a young, diverse hub where 68% of people were born overseas and 76.4% use a language other than English at home. It is a walker's paradise with a high number of apartments and a population that is far more likely to rent. In contrast, Connells Point is an older, wealthier area where detached houses dominate, with 90.5% of homes being separate houses. Typical incomes are much higher there, and 47.9% of residents own their homes outright.

While both areas have residents that can walk to a nearby park, the gap in how they get around is widening. Hurstville has become far more reliant on public transport and pedestrian access, whereas Connells Point remains dominated by cars. This is seen in the housing, too; Hurstville has a far higher share of renters and recent overseas arrivals, while Connells Point has seen a much larger share of its residents age into their 60s and beyond.
