Auburn Seven Hills

Auburn and Seven Hills are two large, nearby areas in Western Sydney with very different housing and cultural profiles. Auburn is far more diverse, with 58.9% of people born overseas and 70.7% using a language other than English at home. Its housing is denser, with 51.7% of homes being flats or apartments and a high rental rate of 48.8%. Seven Hills has a more traditional suburban feel, where 67.2% of homes are separate houses and 73.9% of dwellings have three or more bedrooms. Incomes are also notably different, with a typical weekly family income of $2,361 in Seven Hills compared to $1,764 in Auburn.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions as the gaps in income and housing have widened, while the difference in overseas birth rates has narrowed. Despite these shifts, they share several commonalities, including similar proportions of people living alone and nearly identical average school advantage scores. Both areas also have a similar percentage of residents who completed Year 12 and an almost equal number of schools within 3 km.
