Hornsby The Entrance

The Entrance and Hornsby are nearby areas with very different profiles. Hornsby has a much higher share of people born overseas (36.3% compared to 14.4% in The Entrance) and a far higher proportion who use another language at home (29.9% versus 6.3%). This diversity in Hornsby is consistent with a more highly qualified workforce; 41.0% of adults there hold a bachelor degree or higher, while only 17.2% do in The Entrance. Consequently, Hornsby has a much higher typical weekly household income of $2,345, well above the $1,519 seen in The Entrance.

The gap in typical incomes has widened since 2011, and the difference in university qualifications has grown from just 1.0% to 23.8% over the same period. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas share some similarities. They have almost identical proportions of children under 15 (around 19%) and similar rates of unemployment. Both areas also have about the same share of residents who do not identify with any religion, sitting just below 40%.
