New England Paterson

New England and Paterson are both regional New South Wales areas, but they differ sharply in their layout and accessibility. New England has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 26.4% compared to 9.3% in Paterson. While New England has more schools per 1,000 children, Paterson is far better connected for commuters, with many more public transport stops and 86.8% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop, compared to 55.0% in New England.

They are almost identical when it comes to the typical weekly personal income, which is $690 in New England and $722 in Paterson. Both areas also have very similar shares of children under 15 and people born overseas. Over time, some gaps have shifted; for example, the difference in the share of people living alone has narrowed, while the gap in the number of people with no religion has widened since 2011.
