Cowan Glenorie

Glenorie (L) and Cowan (L) are both residential areas in Greater Sydney with similar population sizes. Glenorie (L) is a younger area where 25.9% of residents are children under 15, compared with 19.0% in Cowan (L). It has a higher share of people who moved in recently (29.9% versus 17.9%) and more homes with three or more bedrooms (95.0% versus 87.1%). In contrast, Cowan (L) has a higher share of people with no religion (47.2% versus 33.5%) and more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (30.5% versus 22.3%).
