Vaucluse Willoughby

Willoughby and Vaucluse are two nearby Sydney areas with significant differences in their populations and housing. Willoughby is far more linguistically diverse, with 35.7% of people using another language at home compared to 19.1% in Vaucluse. Willoughby also has a much higher share of separate houses (40.4% versus 21.2%) and far more public transport routes, with 79 compared to just 15 in Vaucluse. Vaucluse, however, is wealthier, with more households earning $3,000 or more per week (47.2% versus 43.3%) and a higher typical weekly household income of $3,045.
