Dungog Maitland

Dungog and Maitland are nearby areas with very different profiles. Dungog is an older community where the typical resident is 46 and homes are far more likely to be owned outright (41.8%). In contrast, Maitland is much younger, with a typical age of 34 and a higher share of renters (35.0%). Maitland is also very walkable and has far more public transport options, while Dungog is mostly car-dependent and has a much higher share of separate houses at 97.0%.

Both areas have a similar share of children under 15, with Dungog at 18.6%, which is about the same as the national figure. They also share a similar proportion of First Nations residents and almost identical rates of adults with a university degree. However, the gaps between them are growing; the age difference has widened to 12 years since 2011, and the difference in renting and home ownership has also increased over that time.
