Galston Dangar Island

Galston and Dangar Island (L) are two distinct areas in the Hornsby region with very different demographics. Dangar Island (L) is far older, with a typical resident aged 56 compared to 40 in Galston, and a much higher share of people aged 65 and over (30.0% versus 16.2%). Educational and social profiles differ sharply; adults in Dangar Island (L) are far more likely to have a bachelor degree (53.2% compared to 27.7%) and are far more likely to be volunteers (45.7% versus 18.5%). Galston has a much higher proportion of larger homes, with 93.7% having three or more bedrooms, while Dangar Island (L) has a far higher share of people who do not own a motor vehicle (23.9% versus 1.7%).

Both areas share a similar experience of daily life in some ways, such as having nearly the same share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park and virtually no residents who speak little or no English. However, the gaps between them have generally widened since 2011. This is clear in the age gap, which doubled from 8 to 16 years, and the difference in overseas births, which grew to a 16 percentage point gap. While Galston is very walkable and Dangar Island (L) is somewhat walkable, the difference in their connectivity and access to services has become more pronounced.
