North Shore Vaucluse

Vaucluse and North Shore are neighbouring areas with similar populations and high levels of education. North Shore is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 40 compared to 37 in Vaucluse. There are also distinct differences in housing and lifestyle: North Shore has a well higher share of people living alone (36.9% versus 29.7%) and more people working from home (60.8% versus 55.3%). In contrast, Vaucluse has a well higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms (45.3% versus 37.0%) and more detached houses.

Both areas share a very similar proportion of people born overseas, at around 39%. This common international background exists alongside a gap in language diversity, as the share of people using another language at home is well higher in North Shore. Over time, several trends have shifted; for example, the gap in typical weekly household income has narrowed, and the difference in the share of university-qualified adults has flipped since 2011.
