Woollahra and Point Piper are neighbouring areas with very different levels of convenience and wealth. Woollahra is a walker's paradise, where every home is within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. Point Piper is more car-dependent, with only 15.2% of homes within a short walk of shops. Point Piper is also significantly wealthier; the typical household income is $4,530 per week, which is $1,517 higher than the $3,013 typical in Woollahra. Residents in Point Piper also tend to be far older, with a typical age of 52 compared to 42 in Woollahra.

Both areas are effectively alike in many ways, such as having the same number of people per home and an almost identical unemployment rate of around 3%.
