Gilmore Whitlam

Whitlam and Gilmore are both large New South Wales areas with similar populations, though they differ in age and accessibility. Gilmore is far older, with a typical resident aged 49 and 28.7% of people aged 65 or over, compared to 41 years and 21.2% in Whitlam. Whitlam is much more connected, with far more public transport departures (751.6 per 1,000 people versus 227.8 in Gilmore) and more homes within a 15-minute walk of a school (65.2% compared to 36.9%).

Both areas are very similar in their housing styles, with around 84% of homes being separate houses. This shared residential feel exists alongside a growing divide in age and tenure; since 2011, the gap in the number of seniors has widened and the proportion of homes owned outright has grown much faster in Gilmore. While both areas are well above the national figure for people needing help with daily activities, Whitlam has a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more per week.
