Drummoyne Strathfield

Strathfield and Drummoyne are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Strathfield is a younger hub where 56.8% of people were born overseas and 61.5% use a language other than English at home. It is also a major centre for education, with 17,083 school enrolments and a typical resident aged 34. Drummoyne is wealthier and older, with a typical resident aged 40. It has a higher share of high earners, including 38.4% of households earning $3,000 or more per week, compared to 28.1% in Strathfield.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. This is seen in the growing difference in typical incomes and the increasing share of overseas-born residents in Strathfield. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain very similar in their layout. Both are a walker's paradise with high street connectivity, and nearly every home in both places is within a 15-minute walk of a park, school and groceries.
