Hunters Hill - Woolwich is well-off — but expensive to rent

Hunters Hill - Woolwich 2110 · Ryde - Hunters Hill, Greater Sydney, NSW

Hunters Hill - Woolwich is among the more advantaged parts of Australia (SEIFA decile 10 of 10); well served for the everyday — 6 schools and 1 supermarket. The trade-offs: renting is expensive, a median of $1,000 a week (DCJ, 2026-Q1); the population is barely moving — in fact it is shrinking.

A mix of houses and units, with a median age of 46 and households on a median $3,368 a week at the 2021 Census.
