Mount Druitt Seven Hills

Mount Druitt and Seven Hills are two large residential areas in Western Sydney. Mount Druitt is a younger area, where 22.9% of residents are children under 15 and homes are more likely to be separate houses, with 80.1% being detached. Seven Hills has a more highly qualified workforce, with 34.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 21.0% in Mount Druitt. This educational gap is reflected in the workforce, with 39.5% of Seven Hills residents working from home, which is far higher than the 23.4% in Mount Druitt.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, as they share nearly identical rates of people living in de facto relationships and a similar proportion of residents with long-term health conditions. However, the gap in university qualifications and working from home has widened since 2011. While Mount Druitt remains more likely to have larger family homes, the shift toward professional roles and higher typical incomes has become much more pronounced in Seven Hills over the last decade.
