Port Hacking is dominated by large family homes, with 93.4% being separate houses and 95.8% having three or more bedrooms. It is much wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $3,394 and 53.5% of households earning $3,000 or more. In contrast, Cronulla is a hub of apartments and renters, where 41.1% of homes are rented and the typical weekly household income is $2,058. Cronulla is a walker's paradise with a walkability score of 8.9, while Port Hacking is only somewhat walkable with a score of 5.7.

Both areas share many daily realities, including the same drive time to the city and 100% access to nearby parks and public transport. They also have very similar rates of adults working or looking for work. While Cronulla has far more people living alone and more residents without a religion, the two areas have tracked closely in their typical personal incomes. This stability exists alongside a growing gap in household wealth, as the share of high-income earners has risen more sharply in Port Hacking since 2011.
