Darlington Glebe

Glebe (NSW) and Darlington (Sydney - NSW) are neighbouring inner-city areas with very different age profiles. Darlington is far younger, with a typical resident aged 27 compared to 38 in Glebe (NSW). This age gap is reflected in the population structure; youth aged 15 to 24 are 20.9 percentage points more common in Darlington, while seniors aged 65 and over are 11.1 percentage points more common in Glebe (NSW). Darlington also has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 46.0%, compared to 21.3% in Glebe (NSW).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people aged 65 and over, though they differ in other ways. They are effectively alike in their accessibility, as every home in both places is within a 15-minute walk of parks, groceries, health services, and schools. While they share this convenience, Darlington has a far higher share of people who have moved in the last five years (69.1% versus 50.7% in Glebe (NSW)), suggesting a more transient population.
