Redfern Zetland

Redfern and Zetland are neighbouring inner-city areas with similar population sizes, but they differ in their makeup. Zetland is far more international, with 63.0% of people born overseas and 49.7% using another language at home, compared to 40.3% and 26.7% in Redfern. Redfern has an older population and a higher share of residents with long-term health conditions (26.7% compared to 14.0% in Zetland). There are also notable gaps for First Nations people, who are far older in Redfern and have much lower household incomes than those in Zetland.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the typical weekly household income, which is around $2,150 to $2,200. They also share a very similar proportion of children under 15 and a similar number of people per home. While both have a high number of apartments, Redfern has far more townhouse and semi-detached homes. Redfern also provides more frequent public transport and more schools for its children, though Zetland has seen a much higher surge in recent overseas arrivals.
