Federation Lockhart

Federation and Lockhart are two New South Wales areas located about 55km apart. Federation is an older area where the typical resident is 51 and 30.4% are aged 65 or over. It is more walkable, with 81.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, and has a far higher share of people with no religion at 36.7%. Lockhart is younger, with a typical age of 46, and has a much higher rate of volunteering at 29.3%. Residents in Lockhart also tend to have higher education and job skills and a higher overall advantage score.

Since 2011, the gaps between the two have shifted, with Federation becoming noticeably older and seeing a larger share of people living alone compared to Lockhart. The difference in the share of people with no religion has also widened. Despite these trends, the two areas remain very similar in many ways. They have nearly identical typical weekly personal incomes, and both have very low rates of people using a language other than English at home.
