Lane Cove Ryde

Ryde and Lane Cove are two large, neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Ryde is far more culturally diverse, with 53.2% of people born overseas and 54.9% using a language other than English at home. It also has a higher share of renters at 43.7%. In contrast, Lane Cove is wealthier; the typical weekly household income is $2,534, which is well higher than the $2,019 seen in Ryde. Lane Cove also has a higher share of people earning $3,000 or more a week (42.0% compared to 28.1% in Ryde).

Both areas share a very similar daily experience, with nearly identical numbers of people per home and a nearly identical number of public transport stops. This similarity extends to their housing, as both have a far lower share of detached houses than the national figure. Over time, some gaps have shifted. Ryde and Lane Cove have become more alike in terms of their overseas-born populations and the share of adults with university degrees, though Lane Cove's income lead has grown since 2011.
