Double Bay Elizabeth Bay

Elizabeth Bay and Double Bay are neighbouring areas with similar populations, but they differ in how people live and earn. Elizabeth Bay has a far higher share of people living alone (62.0%) and renters (58.6%), which is consistent with the area having far fewer homes with three or more bedrooms (10.3%). In contrast, Double Bay has far more large homes, with 42.6% having three or more bedrooms. This helps explain why Double Bay has a well higher share of children under 15 (12.4%) and a much higher typical weekly household income of $3,077, compared to $2,116 in Elizabeth Bay.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining very high-earning hubs where a similar proportion of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. They are also effectively alike in the share of people born overseas and the time it takes to drive to the city. While Elizabeth Bay is more likely to be without a car (44.4%), both areas are far more likely to be without a vehicle than the national figure.
