I live in Alexandria, an inner city suburb of Sydney. This used to be a largely industrial suburb with medium to high density residential areas. The suburb was once mostly terraced housing, that was demolished for light industrial use and warehousing, which continues to this day, but more and more apartment buildings are on the rise.
Alexandria-Beaconsfield has a total of 6,592 residents. 26 % of the residents are born overseas , 43 % were born in English speaking countries (New Zealand and United Kingdom).
Majority of the population are adults 18 to 64 years 5,569 and only 242 senior citizens. There are 369
Infants 0 to 4 years and 394 Children 5 to 17 years( sourced from the ABS, 2001 census).
The median age of the suburb is 33, this data clearly reflects a young and growing suburb. The local library, located on Green Square, it is a part of the City of Sydney Library Network.
The library's activities reflecting that Alexandria is a suburb of young families: Rhymetime every Wednesday and several other programs for mothers and their babies.
