Kangaroo Point Kyle Bay

Kyle Bay and Kangaroo Point (NSW) are neighbouring areas with very different levels of convenience. Kyle Bay is somewhat walkable, with 86% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 100% within 10 minutes of public transport. In contrast, Kangaroo Point (NSW) is mostly car-dependent, with almost no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. However, Kangaroo Point (NSW) has higher typical incomes, with a typical household earning $4,111 a week compared to $3,069 in Kyle Bay.

Everyday life is quite similar in both places, as they share nearly identical rates of volunteering, the same number of people per home, and similar proportions of residents who have finished Year 12. Both areas also have a high share of residents born overseas and a strong presence of people who use a language other than English at home, which is far above the national figure. This commonality exists alongside a gap in wealth and accessibility that has remained a defining difference between the two neighbours.
