Campbelltown vs Wollongong

Campbelltown and Wollongong are two nearby areas with distinct levels of accessibility. Wollongong is much more walkable, with 73.5% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to 60.4% in Campbelltown. This accessibility extends to health services, which are within a 15-minute walk for 38.3% of Wollongong homes, while only 23.8% of homes in Campbelltown have the same access. Education outcomes for First Nations people are also higher in Wollongong, where 41.9% finished Year 12, well above the national figure.

Everyday life is similar in both places for many residents. Both have around 7,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, with very similar unemployment rates and personal incomes for First Nations residents. This shared experience is mirrored in their general walkability, as both are rated between somewhat walkable and very walkable. While both areas provide easy access to parks and public transport, the gap in access to health services and overall walkshed connectivity remains a significant difference between the two.
