Sydney's South Asian community is centred on the west and north-west: Harris Park and Parramatta, where Wigram Street has been the community's high street for two decades, then out through Westmead, Toongabbie, Girraween, Blacktown, Quakers Hill, Schofields, Kellyville and Glenwood, with a second concentration through Lakemba, Punchbowl and Bankstown.
Housing costs push younger couples further along the north-west and south-west growth corridors each year, which is why relocation and commute come up in Sydney matches more than in any other city.
Sydney's Gujarati community is spread through the Parramatta–Harris Park area, out to Kellyville and Castle Hill, and south towards Hurstville and the St George area, with strong samaj networks and a long history of family businesses in retail, hospitality and property. A number of families arrived via East Africa or the UK rather than directly from Gujarat, which shows in how the community organises.
