Castle Hill Epping

Castle Hill and Epping are both large, populous areas in New South Wales, but they offer different living styles. Epping is more urban and walkable, with 77.4% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to 55.6% in Castle Hill. Epping also has a higher share of university-qualified adults (50.3% vs 39.6%) and more people born overseas (50.9% vs 39.9%). In contrast, Castle Hill is more suburban, with far more separate houses (82.4% vs 64.8%) and a higher proportion of homes with three or more bedrooms (88.8% vs 74.5%).

While these areas differ in layout, the gap in their educational attainment has narrowed since 2011. They share many similarities, including almost identical rates of people who served in the Defence Force (1.5%) and very similar typical monthly home-loan payments of around $3,000. However, some differences are growing; for example, the typical resident in Epping is now 3 years older than in Castle Hill, a gap that has widened since 2011.
