Ingleside Wheeler Heights

Wheeler Heights and Ingleside are neighbouring areas on the Northern Beaches, but they offer very different lifestyles. Wheeler Heights is very walkable, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park or school and a typical commute to the city taking 23 minutes. In contrast, Ingleside is mostly car-dependent, with only 12.1% of homes near a park and a much longer 41-minute drive to the city. Wheeler Heights also has a younger population, with 22.4% of residents under 15, while Ingleside is noticeably older, with 18.3% of people aged 65 and over.

Since 2011, these two areas have remained similar in several key ways. They share almost identical typical weekly household incomes—around $2,800 to $2,900—and the same typical home size of 3.2 people. They also have a similar proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. However, they differ in how they get around; homes in Ingleside are far more likely to have four or more vehicles, whereas Wheeler Heights has much higher street connectivity and far more people living within walking distance of public transport.
