Campbelltown Fairfield

Fairfield and Campbelltown (NSW) are both large areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Fairfield is far more culturally diverse, with 56.0% of people born overseas and 69.7% using a language other than English at home. It is also more walkable, as 86.4% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed. In contrast, Campbelltown (NSW) has a higher share of adults working or looking for work (56.5% compared to 40.8% in Fairfield) and a larger proportion of children under 15, at 22.0%.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked differently, with the gap in the share of people born overseas and those using other languages at home narrowing. They do share some common ground, such as very similar typical weekly rents around $380 to $390 and nearly identical access to local parks.
