Newington Sydney Olympic Park

Newington (NSW) and Sydney Olympic Park are neighbouring areas with very different housing and household styles. Newington (NSW) is more family-oriented, with 22.3% of people being children and 65.7% of homes having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Sydney Olympic Park is dominated by flats and apartments, where 67.7% of homes are rented and 32.7% of people live alone. This shift in lifestyle is reflected in the incomes; 39.0% of households in Newington (NSW) earn $3,000 or more a week, which is far higher than the 22.1% in Sydney Olympic Park.

While these areas differ, they both have a very high proportion of residents born overseas, and every home in both places is within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a park. The gap in how people get around is widening, as Sydney Olympic Park has become much more car-independent, with 13.6% of homes having no motor vehicle compared to just 3.0% in Newington (NSW). This is consistent with Sydney Olympic Park being a walker's paradise, while Newington (NSW) is described as very walkable.
