Wallacia Yarramundi

Wallacia and Yarramundi (L) are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different housing and income profiles. Yarramundi (L) is much wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $3,200 compared to $1,848 in Wallacia. It is also dominated by large homes, with 98.4% having three or more bedrooms and 100% being separate houses. In contrast, Wallacia has a more varied housing mix, with 21.3% of homes rented and a higher proportion of one-parent families (17.8%) and people living alone (27.3%). Wallacia is also more accessible, rated as somewhat walkable, while Yarramundi (L) is car-dependent.

Since 2011, the gap between the two has grown significantly. The difference in typical weekly income has surged from $75 to $1,352, and the divide in home ownership and rent has widened. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain alike in some ways, such as having nearly identical shares of people with no religion and similar monthly home-loan payments. Both also share a total lack of groceries or health services within a 15-minute walk.
