North Willoughby Willoughby

Willoughby (NSW) and North Willoughby are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney. Willoughby (NSW) is generally wealthier, with 47.9% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and a higher share of people earning $2,000 or more weekly. It is also better connected, with far more public transport stops and a shorter transit time to the city. In contrast, North Willoughby has a higher share of homes owned outright (38.0%) and a larger proportion of residents who use a language other than English at home (32.9%).

These two areas share many of the same core characteristics, including a typical resident age of 40 and a similar number of people per home. This common ground is reflected in their demographics, as both have similar shares of children and older residents. While they are very alike in these respects, some gaps remain, such as the higher number of First Nations people in Willoughby (NSW) compared to North Willoughby.
