East Killara St Ives

St Ives (NSW) and East Killara are neighbouring suburbs in Sydney's north, but they offer different living environments. East Killara is dominated by large, separate houses, with 99.5% of homes being detached and 99.1% having three or more bedrooms. It also has a much higher share of people using a language other than English at home (54.2%). In contrast, St Ives (NSW) is more diverse in its housing, with 26.1% of residents living in flats or apartments. It also serves as a more connected hub, with far more public transport departures and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school.

These two areas are remarkably alike in other ways, such as their typical resident age of 43 and typical weekly household incomes around $2,900. However, some differences are becoming more pronounced; for example, the gap in typical weekly rent has widened, with East Killara now well higher at $1,000 compared to $688 in St Ives (NSW). Both areas sit far above the national figure for people born overseas, though this is even more common in East Killara.
