Greenwich St Leonards

St Leonards (NSW) and Greenwich are neighbouring areas with very different characters. St Leonards (NSW) is a walker's paradise with a young population—the typical resident is 34—and a high proportion of renters (68.3%). It is also very diverse, with 58.6% of people born overseas and 47.3% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Greenwich is more residential and older, with a typical age of 42. Homes there are more likely to be separate houses (50.6%) and owned outright (36.9%), while seniors aged 65 and over make up 20.7% of the population.

Both areas are effectively alike in their level of school advantage and have the same share of one-parent families at 7.6%. This shared sense of stability exists alongside a widening gap in how people live; while 73.5% of St Leonards (NSW) residents moved in the last five years, only 39.9% of those in Greenwich did. St Leonards (NSW) has also seen its share of people born overseas grow far above the national figure, while Greenwich remains well above it but to a lesser extent.
