Holsworthy Oatley

Holsworthy and Oatley are nearby areas in New South Wales with distinct housing and social profiles. Holsworthy is a younger area where the typical resident is 35 and homes are often larger, with 86.3% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Oatley's residents are noticeably older, with a typical age of 41, and the area is much more walkable. For example, 93.1% of Oatley homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, compared to 77.9% in Holsworthy. Oatley also has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (32.8% versus 21.8%) and more people who identify as having no religion (28.1% versus 16.4%).

Since 2011, the two areas have moved in different directions across several key measures. The gap in home ownership has widened, with Oatley now having a much higher share of homes owned outright. Meanwhile, the difference in the proportion of people using another language at home has narrowed significantly. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain very similar in some ways; they have almost identical typical weekly rents and shares of people who speak little or no English.
