East Ryde Lane Cove West

Lane Cove West and East Ryde are neighbouring areas with very different housing and transport profiles. Lane Cove West is a more mobile and diverse hub, where 38.9% of people were born overseas and 44.3% of homes are rented. It has a much higher density of public transport, with 6.36 stops per 1,000 people and a typical walk to a stop of just 2 minutes. In contrast, East Ryde is dominated by large family homes, with 92.8% being separate houses and 96.7% having three or more bedrooms. Many residents there own their homes outright (46.9%), and the typical resident is noticeably older at 43, compared to 37 in Lane Cove West.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, including nearly identical typical family incomes and a similar 13 to 14 minute drive to the city. Both are considered somewhat walkable, and every single home in both areas is within a 15 minute walk of a park. While Lane Cove West has seen more people move in over the last five years, the two areas remain closely aligned in the share of people who have served in the Defence Force or those who care for children unpaid.
