Sydney Glenorie

Sydney and Glenorie (L) are nearby but very different. Sydney is a large, diverse hub where 41.2% of people were born overseas and 40.7% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Glenorie (L) is dominated by separate houses (98.6%) and larger homes, with 95.0% having three or more bedrooms. Sydney has a much higher share of renters at 37.3% and more people with bachelor degrees or higher (35.0%) compared to 22.3% in Glenorie (L).

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the proportion of people aged 65 and over. Outside of this, the gaps between them are often widening. Since 2011, the difference in the number of separate houses and the share of renters has grown. However, the gap in the share of people with university degrees has narrowed, as more people in Glenorie (L) have completed higher qualifications.
