Sydney is home to six of the top 10 most advantaged areas in Australia, new data shows.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics on Thursday revealed the social-economic indexes for areas across the nation.
Data was pulled from the 2021 census, including income, education, housing and employment to give an overview of an area's social-economic characteristics.
Each area was then provided with a score which indicates "how relatively advantaged or disadvantaged that area is compared with other areas".
Woollahra local government area in Sydney's east, which includes the suburbs of Point Piper, Vaucluse and Double Bay, took the title of Australia's most advantaged area.
Mosman on Sydney's lower north shore came in second, followed by nearby Ku-ring-gai which is home to suburbs such as Pymble, Killara and Turramurra.
The Northern Territory's Darwin Waterfront Precinct, which has just 293 residents, was ranked fourth.
North Sydney local government area, which includes the namesake suburb as well as Kirribilli, McMahons Point and Crows Nest, rounded out the top five.
Sixth place went to Waverley in Sydney's east, which has suburbs including Bondi, Bronte and Dover Heights, and seventh was Lane Cove.
Peppermint Grove in Perth's west was eighth, while nearby Nedlands was ninth and Cottlesloe was 10th.
The ABS noted that all but one of the top 10 most advantaged areas are on waterfronts.
At the other end of the scale, six of the 10 most disadvantaged areas were in Queensland, and the remaining four were in the Northern Territory.
Woorabinda, 170km southwest of Rockhampton and with a population of 1,019, was deemed to Australia's most disadvantaged area, followed by Cherbourg, Queensland.
Belyuen in the Northern Territory was the third most disadvantaged, with West Daly (Northern Territory) fourth and Yarrabah (Queensland) in fifth.
Kowanyama (Queensland) was sixth, then Wujal Wujal (Queensland), East Arnhem (Northern Territory), Doomadgee (Queensland) and Central Desert (Northern Territory).
"Generally, disadvantaged areas tend to be in regional and remote communities, while advantaged areas tend to be in major cities," the ABS noted.
