Griffith Lockhart

Griffith and Lockhart are two regional areas in New South Wales with very different social makeups. Griffith is much more multicultural, with 22.4% of people born overseas and 23.2% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Lockhart is far less diverse, with only 4.7% born overseas and 1.9% using another language. The two areas also differ in age and housing; Lockhart has a far older population with a typical resident aged 46, compared to 37 in Griffith, and far more people owning their homes outright (49.2% versus 33.5% in Griffith).

Both areas share a similar overall level of advantage and an identical unemployment rate of 3.0%. This common ground exists alongside widening gaps in other areas. For example, the difference in typical age has grown since 2011, and the gap in people born overseas has also widened. While Griffith has far more public transport stops and services, Lockhart has a much higher share of volunteers at 29.3%.
