Hilldale Vacy

Vacy and Hilldale are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with different profiles of wealth and amenity. Vacy is more affluent, with 26.6% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 13.6% in Hilldale. Vacy also has more families, with 21.0% of the population being children under 15 and a higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms. This is reflected in its better access to local services; more homes in Vacy are within a 15-minute walk of groceries (12.7%) and schools (11.7%), while Hilldale has no homes within that distance of either.

Both areas have a similar share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, which sits near the national figure. They are also alike in that every single home is a separate house and no one commutes using public transport. While Hilldale has more public transport stops and departures, the gap in walkability is stark, as Vacy has a much higher walk to the nearest stop. Over time, the gap in First Nations household income has remained significant, with income far higher in Vacy.
