Auburn Drummoyne

Auburn and Drummoyne are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different social profiles. Auburn is a young, multicultural hub where 58.9% of people were born overseas and 70.7% use a language other than English at home. Drummoyne is generally wealthier and more educated, with a typical weekly family income of $2,925 compared to $1,764 in Auburn, and a far higher share of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher (42.8% versus 30.8%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who need help with daily activities. Beyond this, they share an excellent level of accessibility, with almost every home within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 15-minute walk of a park. However, many gaps have widened since 2011, including the difference in typical incomes and the share of people born overseas, which is now 20.5 percentage points higher in Auburn.
