Elsmore Sapphire

Elsmore and Sapphire are two small areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Elsmore is much younger, with a typical resident aged 33, while those in Sapphire are far older at 47. Diversity is also a key difference; 41.1% of people in Elsmore were born overseas, compared to no one in Sapphire. There is a sharp contrast in wealth and employment, with a typical weekly personal income of $589 in Sapphire compared to $305 in Elsmore, and a much higher share of adults in Sapphire working or looking for work (86.4% versus 28.5%).

Both areas are effectively identical when it comes to accessibility, as neither has any public transport stops or services within walking distance. This lack of infrastructure is common to both, although Elsmore is slightly more walkable with a few more local amenities and parks. While they share similar terrain and very few people who speak little or no English, the gap in typical monthly home-loan payments is huge, with Sapphire residents paying $6,500 compared to $964 in Elsmore.
