Lakemba Miranda

Lakemba and Miranda are both populous areas of Sydney, but they differ sharply in their cultural and financial profiles. Lakemba is a diverse hub where 49.4% of people were born overseas and 68.0% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Miranda has a smaller overseas-born population of 24.3% and a typical weekly household income of $2,192, which is far higher than Lakemba's $1,332. Miranda also has more homeowners and a higher share of residents with degrees, while Lakemba has a much younger population with more children under 15.

Everyday life in both places is very walkable and they share a similar number of public transport stops. They also have similar rates of people moving in over the last five years. While they are alike in these ways, the gap in incomes and the share of people born overseas have both widened since 2011. This is consistent with the fact that the typical age gap has also grown, with residents in Miranda now noticeably older than those in Lakemba.
