Orchard Hills Yarramundi

Yarramundi and Orchard Hills are both small residential areas in Greater Sydney, but they differ significantly in their populations. Residents are far older in Orchard Hills, where the typical age is 48 compared to 40 in Yarramundi. Orchard Hills also has a much higher share of people born overseas (20.9% versus 10.6%) and those using another language at home (19.2% compared to 3.6%). In contrast, Yarramundi has a well higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at 7.7%, and is the only area of the two with recent overseas arrivals, who make up 18.2% of its people.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, with almost identical typical weekly household incomes of around $3,100 to $3,200. Both areas are entirely dependent on cars and have virtually no public transport use. While they share these traits, other gaps have shifted over time; the age difference has grown since 2011, and the gap in home ownership has widened, with homes owned outright being far higher in Orchard Hills at 56.3%.
