Mays Hill Westmead

Westmead and Mays Hill are neighbouring areas with a high proportion of residents born overseas and many people with university degrees. Westmead is more established in its infrastructure, with 49 public transport stops and a higher share of adults with bachelor degrees (56.1% compared to 50.7% in Mays Hill). Mays Hill is more transient and has a higher share of people who moved in the last five years (71.5% compared to 61.0% in Westmead).

Everyday life in both places is very similar, as they share nearly identical typical weekly household incomes and a similar proportion of children under 15. Both areas are far above the national figure for households that rent and for people who use a language other than English at home. While Westmead has far more public transport routes, the gap in how many people use public transport to commute is narrowing, as both areas remain much higher than the national average.
