Hurstville Kingsgrove

Hurstville and Kingsgrove are neighbouring areas with very different living patterns. Hurstville is a younger and more transient hub, where the typical resident is 33 and half the population moved there in the last five years. It is far more diverse, with 68% of people born overseas and 76.4% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Kingsgrove is older, with a typical resident aged 42, and is dominated by separate houses (82%) compared to Hurstville, where 61.4% of homes are flats or apartments.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people with no religion, though this is more common in Hurstville. This shared middle ground exists alongside a similar typical weekly household income, which is around $1,800 to $1,900 in both places. However, their transport habits differ sharply; Hurstville residents are far more likely to use public transport and 21.5% of homes have no motor vehicle, while Kingsgrove has a much higher share of outright home ownership at 40.9%.
