Longueville Woolwich

Longueville and Woolwich are neighbouring areas with very different housing and income profiles. Longueville is a wealthier hub where the typical household earns $4,894 a week, compared to $2,931 in Woolwich. It is dominated by large family homes, with 98.8% being separate houses and 97.4% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Woolwich has a much older population, with 32.9% aged 65 and over, and a higher share of people living alone at 29.9%.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, maintaining almost identical shares of people born overseas and those who use a language other than English at home. They also share the same 12-minute drive time to the city and nearly identical access to public transport. While both are well above the national figure for typical incomes, Longueville remains more focused on families, with more children under 15 and higher rates of unpaid childcare.
