Manly North Shore

Manly and North Shore are neighbouring areas in Sydney with similar typical ages, but they differ in their housing and residents. North Shore has far more people living alone (36.9%) and a higher share of renters (47.9%) than Manly. In contrast, Manly is far more likely to have separate houses (40.9% compared to 16.4%) and larger homes with three or more bedrooms (52.9% compared to 37.0%). This is consistent with Manly having more children under 15 (18.6%) and a higher share of people caring for children unpaid (28.9%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of children under 15. Beyond that, they are very alike in typical weekly family income and the number of schools within 3km. However, some gaps are widening; North Shore now has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (58.6%) than Manly (47.5%), and a larger gap in the number of people working from home.
