Heffron Vaucluse

Heffron and Vaucluse are neighbouring areas in Sydney with very different social profiles. Heffron is much more multicultural, with 50.4% of people born overseas and 41.8% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Vaucluse has a wealthier population, where 47.2% of households earn $3,000 or more a week and 29.8% of homes are owned outright, compared to just 15.6% in Heffron. Vaucluse also has more large homes, with 45.3% having three or more bedrooms, while Heffron's homes are smaller and more likely to be rented.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, with almost every home located within a 15-minute walk of a park and within 10 minutes of public transport. They also have a similar number of people living alone and a similar share of one-parent families. However, since 2011, several gaps have widened: Vaucluse has become noticeably older, while the difference in typical incomes and the share of people born overseas has increased.
