Drummoyne Woolwich

Drummoyne and Woolwich are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Drummoyne is a larger, more active hub where 65.9% of adults are working or looking for work and 35.8% of homes are rented. It is described as a walker's paradise, with nearly every home within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. In contrast, Woolwich is much older, with a typical resident aged 52 and 32.9% of the population aged 65 or over. Homes there are far more likely to be separate houses (66.3%) and owned outright (56.0%).

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining very much alike in their wealth and layout. Both have a similar share of households earning over $3,000 a week and nearly identical street connectivity. They also share a commitment to green space, with 100% of homes in both areas within a 15-minute walk of a park. While Drummoyne is more diverse, with 21.7% of people using another language at home, both areas sit well above the national figure for this measure.
