Manly Pittwater

Manly and Pittwater are two nearby areas on the Northern Beaches with very different layouts. Manly is a more compact, urban environment where nearly half of residents live in flats or apartments and 96.6% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed. In contrast, Pittwater is more spread out, with separate houses making up 65.3% of homes and only 74.7% of residents within a 15-minute walk of a local hub. These differences extend to people and pay: Manly has a far higher share of university degrees (47.5% vs 32.7%) and a typical weekly income that is $291 higher than in Pittwater.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the typical weekly rent, which is $650. They also share a similar number of public transport stops and a nearly equal percentage of people living alone. While they have these commonalities, some gaps are shifting.
