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 Punjabi Sikh community is anchored in the north-west and west — Glenwood, Parklea, Blacktown, Quakers Hill, Schofields and Marsden Park — with an older, well-established community in the south-west around Revesby and Bankstown. Trucking, construction, healthcare and small business are all strongly represented, and the gurdwara network is where most families still verify a match informally.
