Grays Point Miranda

Miranda (NSW) and Grays Point are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Miranda (NSW) is a more transient, diverse hub where 28.3% of people were born overseas and 23.4% use another language at home. It is a walker's paradise with a walkability score of 8.1, where renting is common (34.7%) and many people live alone (28.7%). In contrast, Grays Point is a more stable, affluent residential area where separate houses make up 98% of homes. It has much higher rates of home ownership, with 45.4% owning their home outright, and a higher share of top earners, with 48.3% of households making $3,000 or more a week.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, as both have roughly the same proportion of First Nations people and similar school sizes. Both areas are also very well connected to public transport, with nearly every home within a 10-minute walk of a stop. However, the divide in housing is stark; Grays Point is dominated by large family homes, with 94.7% having three or more bedrooms, while Miranda (NSW) has many more apartments and smaller dwellings.
