Campbelltown Cumberland

Cumberland and Campbelltown (NSW) are both large areas in Greater Sydney, but they offer different lifestyles. Cumberland is a very walkable area where 65.2% of people use a language other than English at home and 53.2% were born overseas. In contrast, Campbelltown (NSW) is more car-dependent, with a higher share of separate houses (78.3% compared to 52.0% in Cumberland) and larger family homes, as 83.1% of its dwellings have three or more bedrooms.

Since 2011, the gaps in cultural diversity have narrowed, with Cumberland's lead in overseas births and non-English speaking households shrinking. Despite this, the two areas remain very similar in other ways, with nearly identical typical weekly household incomes and a similar share of people living alone. Both areas also sit near the national figure for the percentage of people who own their homes outright.
