Epping North Epping

Epping (NSW) and North Epping are neighbouring areas with very different housing and population profiles. Epping (NSW) is younger and more transient, with a typical resident aged 36 and 53.1% of people moving in within the last five years. It is also far more diverse; 60.6% of residents were born overseas and 65.9% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, North Epping is an older, more established area where the typical resident is 44. It has a much higher share of detached houses (92.0% compared to 42.6% in Epping (NSW)) and larger homes, with 92.8% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms.

Both areas are very similar in their daily rhythms, with almost the same share of people working from home and nearly identical access to parks and public transport. They also share a highly educated workforce, with both areas sitting far above the national figure for adults with a bachelor degree or higher. While North Epping has far higher typical household incomes, the two areas remain closely matched in their proportion of children under 15.
