Epping Seven Hills

Epping and Seven Hills are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with similar total populations. Epping has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (50.3%) and people who finished Year 12 (81.6%). This higher level of qualification is consistent with a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (39.5%) and more people working from home (51.8%). Seven Hills is more walkable in some ways, with 83.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to 68.3% in Epping.

Both areas are very similar in how many children under 15 live there, with each sitting close to the national figure. They also share similar home sizes, with about 74% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms and almost identical numbers of people per home. While they share these everyday patterns, some gaps have changed; the difference in university qualifications and Year 12 completion has narrowed since 2011, while the gap in people reporting no religion has widened.
