North Sydney and Kirribilli are neighbouring areas with a few striking differences. North Sydney is much younger, with a typical resident aged 36 compared to 44 in Kirribilli. It is also more diverse, as 31.8% of people use another language at home, which is far higher than the 19.0% in Kirribilli. North Sydney is a major transport hub, with far more public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people, and it is faster to get to the city from there.
