Residential relocation in Sydney and the NSW coast over the period 1991 to 1996

Abstract

Sydney is flourishing relative to the rest of New South Wales (NSW). But there are winners and losers within Sydney, and the divide between them is being expressed in residential concentrations of rich and poor. In Sydney’s south-western suburbs, two factors, low income and non-English-speaking-background birthplace, increasingly overlap. Meanwhile many of the Australia-born who are not succeeding in Sydney are retreating to the rest of NSW, particularly to its coastal communities. Previous article ends on p. 33 Copyright.
