Pyrmont Rozelle

Pyrmont and Rozelle are neighbouring areas with very different housing and population profiles. Pyrmont is a high-density hub where 93.7% of homes are flats or apartments and 61.7% of households rent. It is far more diverse, with 52.1% of people born overseas and 39.9% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Rozelle has a more traditional residential feel, with 24.5% of homes being separate houses and 47.7% having three or more bedrooms. Rozelle is also wealthier, with a typical household income of $3,196 per week, which is well higher than Pyrmont's $2,422.

Both areas are highly accessible, with nearly every home within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a park. However, the gap in car reliance is widening; Pyrmont is far more likely to be without a vehicle, with 28.8% of homes having no motor vehicle compared to 11.2% in Rozelle. They also share similar profiles for their First Nations populations and a nearly identical number of nearby schools.
