A heritage strip with a city-money economy underneath it.
Summer Hill trades on a Victorian streetscape, the clock tower and the old cinema building doing the postcard work, but the household numbers underneath don't match a heritage village. Median household income runs to $2,260 a week, family income to $3,076, well past what a strip this size usually returns. An estimated 820 businesses operate in the suburb itself, and at a median age of 36 this is a working population commuting to the city rather than a retiree's postcode. It's small enough that most of that trade still runs down the same two or three streets, not spread across a suburb the size of a small town.
Assume a strip like this runs on cafes and specialty grocers, and you'd only be half right. Professional, scientific and technical services is the largest sector across the Inner West council area, 4,351 businesses, well ahead of construction and retail, and that weighting matches what the renovated terraces around the station suggest: consultants, architects, lawyers and IT contractors working from a home office rather than a shopfront. Selling to that crowd differs from selling to a passer-by. Nobody walks past a home office, so the pitch happens on a screen before anyone calls, and a stock template with a stock-photo hero reads as exactly what it is. Only 23.6% of Summer Hill is under 25 and just 12.4% is over 65, a settled, working suburb that hires the physio, the accountant or the tradie whose site looks like they've actually done the job before.
