Kogarah Monterey

Kogarah and Monterey are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different characters. Kogarah is a walker's paradise with a young population, where the typical resident is 35. It is highly diverse, with 58.7% of people born overseas and 62.3% using another language at home. Many residents here rent their homes, and 19.9% of households do not have a motor vehicle. In contrast, Monterey is much older, with a typical age of 44. It has more separate houses and larger homes, with 58.9% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms compared to 30.9% in Kogarah. Outright home ownership is also far higher in Monterey at 37.2%.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to typical weekly household income, which sits around $1,800 to $1,900. This shared economic baseline exists alongside other similarities, such as having about the same proportion of children under 15. However, the gap in overseas arrivals is wide; 25.4% of Kogarah's population arrived recently from abroad, while that figure is much lower in Monterey at 6.9%.
