Camden Wingecarribee

Wingecarribee and Camden are two distinct New South Wales areas with very different populations. Wingecarribee is an older community where the typical resident is 48 and 27.9% are seniors. In contrast, Camden is much younger, with a typical age of 33 and a higher share of children under 15 (25.2%).
