East Hills Picnic Point

Picnic Point and East Hills are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and transport profiles. Picnic Point has a higher share of separate houses (75.4%) and large homes, with 95% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms. It also has a much higher proportion of homeowners, with 40.3% owning their home outright. In contrast, East Hills is far more walkable and connected, with 81.1% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to just 26.9% in Picnic Point. East Hills also has much better access to services, with 33.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, whereas only 3.2% of Picnic Point residents have the same access.

Everyday life in both places is similar in terms of the commute, with a drive time to the city of about 25 to 26 minutes. They also share a similar employment landscape, with about 55% of the workforce in full-time jobs and very similar unemployment rates. However, the two areas are drifting apart in some demographics; while both have high numbers of people born overseas, the gap in language diversity is widening, with East Hills now seeing a higher share of people who speak little or no English.
