Hurstville Hurstville Grove

Hurstville and Hurstville Grove are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Hurstville is a high-density hub where 61.4% of homes are flats or apartments, and 76.4% of residents use a language other than English at home. It is a young place with a typical resident aged 33. In contrast, Hurstville Grove is dominated by detached houses (88.3%) and is much quieter, with residents who are far older (typical age 43) and far more likely to own their home outright (47.3%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people with no religion, though this is slightly higher in Hurstville. They also share a similar lifestyle in some ways, as every home in both places is within a 15-minute walk of a park, a school, and public transport. However, gaps in housing and demographics remain stark, with far more people renting and moving into Hurstville over the last five years.
