Eveleigh Ultimo

Ultimo and Eveleigh are neighbouring inner-city areas with very different social makeups. Ultimo is a highly international hub where 66.2% of people were born overseas and 58.0% use a language other than English at home. It is also more academic, with 49.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Eveleigh has a higher share of one-parent families (39.9%) and a larger First Nations population (6.9%). Rent is also much higher in Ultimo, where the typical weekly cost is $500 compared to $300 in Eveleigh.

Everyday life in both places is defined by high accessibility, with every home within a 10 minute walk of public transport. They share nearly identical numbers of nearby schools and similar typical monthly home-loan payments of around $2,500. While Ultimo has seen far more recent overseas arrivals, both areas remain well above the national figure for people born overseas. This high level of diversity is a shared trait, even though the specific languages spoken and countries of origin differ between the two.
