Kogarah Ramsgate

Kogarah and Ramsgate are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Kogarah is a younger, highly diverse hub where 58.7% of people were born overseas and 62.3% use a language other than English at home. It is a walker's paradise with high rental rates and many flats. In contrast, Ramsgate is older, with a typical resident aged 47, and has a more residential feel where 57.2% of homes are separate houses and 35.5% are owned outright.

Everyday life in both places is similar in terms of typical weekly household incomes and the number of people living in each home. This shared experience exists alongside a widening gap in how people live; for example, the gap in the share of three-bedroom homes has grown, with these far more common in Ramsgate. While both are very walkable, Kogarah is much more likely to be a car-free area, with 19.9% of homes having no motor vehicle compared to 5.9% in Ramsgate.
