Dural Hornsby

Hornsby and Dural (Hornsby - NSW) are neighbouring areas with very different housing and social profiles. Hornsby is a more diverse and academic hub, where 52% of people were born overseas and 45.9% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Dural (Hornsby - NSW) is defined by larger properties and higher wealth, with 80.3% of homes being separate houses and a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (40.3%).

While both areas have a similar proportion of children under 15, they have drifted apart in how people get around. Hornsby is a walker's paradise with 97.1% of homes within a 10 minute walk of public transport, but Dural (Hornsby - NSW) is somewhat walkable and much more car-reliant.
