Bankstown Liverpool

Liverpool and Bankstown are two large, nearby hubs in Greater Sydney with similar populations. Bankstown has a higher share of people who use another language at home (65.3% compared to 59.7% in Liverpool) and more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (19.5% versus 16.3%). Liverpool is more likely to have separate houses (60.2% against 54.8%) and homes with three or more bedrooms (66.6% versus 60.9%). More adults in Liverpool are working or looking for work (47.6% compared to 43.6% in Bankstown), and full-time employment is also well higher there at 53.1%.

Many of the gaps between these two areas have narrowed since 2011, such as the difference in the share of people with university degrees. They share a very similar typical resident age of 34 and have nearly identical shares of children under 15. Both areas sit far above the national figure for people using another language at home, and they are effectively alike in their typical weekly household incomes.
