Brandy Hill Paterson

Brandy Hill and Paterson are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different layouts. Brandy Hill is car-dependent, while Paterson is very walkable, with nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools, and groceries. Wealth is notably higher in Brandy Hill, where 36.3% of households earn $3,000 or more a week compared to 19.9% in Paterson. Brandy Hill also has a higher share of university degrees and Year 12 completions, and a typical household income that is $758 higher per week than in Paterson.

Everyday life is similar in both places, with almost identical shares of people working from home, those providing unpaid care, and those who do not identify with a religion. These commonalities exist despite a widening gap in incomes and home loan costs. Since 2011, the difference in typical monthly mortgage payments has grown, and the gap in typical weekly rents has also increased, with costs now far higher in Brandy Hill.
