Five Dock Haberfield

Five Dock and Haberfield are neighbouring areas in Sydney's inner west with very different housing patterns. Haberfield is dominated by larger homes, with 79.7% being separate houses and 81.7% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Five Dock has far more apartments and a much higher rental rate of 36.7%. This difference is reflected in the residents, as Five Dock has a higher share of people living alone (26.4%) and a larger proportion of young adults, while Haberfield's population is older, with the typical resident aged 46.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, maintaining a high number of people working from home compared to the national figure. They are also very alike in their school advantage scores and the proportion of residents who completed Year 12. This shared stability exists alongside some distinct differences; for example, Five Dock has seen more people move in over the last five years, and it has a higher share of residents born overseas (33.5%) and those using another language at home (32.3%).
