Minto Heights St Andrews

St Andrews (NSW) and Minto Heights are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. St Andrews (NSW) is a younger and more diverse area, where 31.3% of people were born overseas and 31.9% use another language at home. It is more walkable and connected, with 99.8% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Minto Heights has a much older population, with a typical age of 44 and a higher share of seniors (24.5%). It is more car-dependent and has higher levels of wealth, with 46.2% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and 56.7% of homes owned outright.

Daily life in both places shares several similarities, such as having almost identical rates of long-term health conditions and people providing unpaid care. The two areas also have very similar typical weekly rents and personal incomes. While they share these basics, the gap in how people live and work is widening; for example, far more people now work from home in Minto Heights than in St Andrews (NSW).
