Dean Park Oakhurst

Oakhurst and Dean Park are neighbouring suburbs in Greater Sydney with distinct differences in accessibility and wealth. Oakhurst is far more walkable, with 97.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 54.1% near health services, while Dean Park has no homes within that distance for either. Oakhurst also has a more highly qualified and higher earning population, with 21.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher and 26% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Dean Park has a larger share of older residents, with 14.8% aged 65 and over compared to 9.7% in Oakhurst.

These two areas have tracked closely since 2011, maintaining very similar family structures and living costs. Both have nearly identical shares of children under 15 and typical weekly rents around $400. They also share a strong connection to overseas migration, as both are far above the national figure for people born overseas and those using another language at home.
