Auburn Baulkham Hills

Auburn and Baulkham Hills are two large nearby areas with very different housing and social profiles. Auburn is a young, diverse hub where 58.9% of people were born overseas and 70.7% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Baulkham Hills has a much wealthier population, with a typical weekly family income of $2,868 compared to $1,764 in Auburn. Housing also differs sharply; 80% of homes in Baulkham Hills are separate houses, while over half of Auburn's homes are flats or apartments.

Both areas are similarly sized and have almost the same number of public transport stops and people per home. While they share these basic traits, the gaps between them are often growing. The difference in family income and the share of people with university degrees have both widened since 2011. At the same time, the gap in the proportion of overseas-born residents has narrowed, as Baulkham Hills has become more diverse.
