Morisset - Cooranbong Sydney

Sydney and Morisset - Cooranbong are two very different New South Wales areas. Sydney is a very walkable hub where 40.6% of people were born overseas and 40.0% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Morisset - Cooranbong is mostly car-dependent and has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 45 and 26.1% of people aged 65 and over. Education and income also differ sharply; Sydney has a much higher share of adults with a bachelor degree (34.6%) and households earning $3,000 or more a week (31.1%).

Since 2011, the gap between these two places has grown or shifted in almost every major category. For example, the difference in people born overseas has widened from 2.1% to 27.5%, and the gap in Year 12 completion has increased significantly. Despite these diverging paths, they remain similar in some areas, such as their unemployment rates, which sit at 5.1% in Sydney and 5.4% in Morisset - Cooranbong.
