Auburn Granville

Auburn and Granville are two large, neighbouring areas in Western Sydney with very high proportions of people born overseas. Auburn is more diverse in its origins, with a higher share of people born overseas (58.9%) and a higher percentage using a language other than English at home (70.7%). It also has a significantly higher share of people with no religion (24.7%) compared to Granville (12.5%). Granville is more walkable, with a much higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (86.1% compared to 62.3% in Auburn) and groceries (98.2% versus 83.8%).

The gap in religious affiliation has widened since 2011, as Auburn has seen a much larger increase in people reporting no religion. Despite this shift, the two areas share many fundamentals: the typical resident in both is 33 years old, and their typical weekly household incomes are very similar, sitting around $1,700. Both areas also have a high proportion of people born outside Australia, which is far above the national figure.
