Grays Point Sutherland

Sutherland (NSW) and Grays Point are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Sutherland (NSW) is a walker's paradise where 66.7% of homes are flats or apartments and 42.4% of households rent. It is a more transient and diverse place, with 50.3% of people moving in during the last five years and 19.3% using another language at home. In contrast, Grays Point is dominated by large, owner-occupied houses, with 98% being separate dwellings and 94.7% having three or more bedrooms. It is a wealthier area where 48.3% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 22.9% in Sutherland (NSW).

Everyday life shares many commonalities across both areas, such as a similar share of adults with a university degree and nearly identical rates of people working from home. Both are well-connected to public transport, with almost every home within a 10-minute walk of a stop. While Sutherland (NSW) is more walkable for groceries and health services, Grays Point has a far higher number of public transport stops per 1,000 people. The two areas also share a similar Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of around 1% to 1.6%.
