Lane Cove Longueville

Lane Cove and Longueville are neighbouring areas with very different housing and social profiles. Longueville is a wealthy pocket where 98.8% of homes are separate houses and the typical weekly household income is far higher at $4,894, compared to $2,539 in Lane Cove. Residents in Longueville are also far older, with a typical age of 46 compared to 38 in Lane Cove. In contrast, Lane Cove is a more mobile and diverse hub; 50.3% of people moved there in the last five years, and it has a far higher share of people born overseas (39.0%) and those using another language at home (29.0%).

Both areas share an almost identical level of public transport access, with 100% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop. This accessibility is paired with similar typical personal incomes and unemployment rates. However, the two areas diverge sharply in their living arrangements. Lane Cove is a walker's paradise with many renters and people living alone, while Longueville consists mostly of large, outright-owned homes with a much higher proportion of volunteers.
