Sutherland Woronora

Sutherland (NSW) and Woronora are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Sutherland (NSW) is a high-density hub where 66.7% of homes are flats or apartments, 42.4% of households rent, and 34.8% of people live alone. In contrast, Woronora is dominated by large family homes, with 95.3% being separate houses and 91.2% having three or more bedrooms. These differences extend to wealth and diversity; Woronora has a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (42.1%), while Sutherland (NSW) has a much higher proportion of people using another language at home (19.3%).

Both areas share a very similar level of education, with about a third of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. This common ground exists alongside a divide in how people get around. Sutherland (NSW) is a walker's paradise where 96.9% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. Woronora is somewhat walkable, but only 1.1% of homes have that same easy access to food. The two areas also differ in stability, as 50.3% of Sutherland (NSW) residents moved in the last five years, compared to just 25.1% in Woronora.
