Coogee Manly

Manly and Coogee are both large, coastal areas with similar populations, but they differ in their housing and demographics. Manly has far more separate houses (40.9% compared to 16.6% in Coogee) and a higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms. This is consistent with Manly having a slightly older typical resident (39 years) and more people caring for children. In contrast, Coogee has a far higher share of renters at 48.6% and more people living alone, with a typical resident aged 36.

Both areas are almost identical in their typical family income, around $3,600 a week, and the proportion of people aged 65 and over. They also share a high level of education, with roughly half of all adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. While they are similar in many ways, the gap in renting has widened since 2011, and Coogee has seen a larger increase in recent overseas arrivals.
