Glebe Ultimo

Glebe (NSW) and Ultimo are neighbouring inner-city areas with very different profiles. Ultimo is far younger, with a typical resident aged 30 compared to 38 in Glebe (NSW). It is also much more multicultural; 66.2% of people were born overseas and 58.0% use a language other than English at home, compared to 35.8% and 24.6% in Glebe (NSW). In contrast, Glebe (NSW) has a more established feel, with a far higher share of seniors (16.4% versus 6.3%) and more three-bedroom homes. Residents in Glebe (NSW) also typically earn more, with a typical weekly personal income of $1,045 compared to $772 in Ultimo.

Both areas are effectively identical in their accessibility and education levels, as every single home in both places is within a 10-minute walk of public transport. This shared urban convenience is reflected in their similar proportions of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, which sits around 49% for both.
