Bankstown Campbelltown

Bankstown and Campbelltown (NSW) are both large, populous areas of Greater Sydney, but they offer very different living environments. Bankstown is much more walkable, with 92.7% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed, and a far higher share of people use a language other than English at home (56.5%). In contrast, Campbelltown (NSW) is more sprawling and car-reliant, with a much higher share of separate houses (78.4%) and a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 4.1%.

The two areas are remarkably similar in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit at $1,595 in Bankstown and $1,702 in Campbelltown (NSW). They also share similar proportions of children under 15 and adults with a university degree. While they have long been different in their housing and language profiles, the gaps in these areas have narrowed since 2011, particularly regarding the share of people born overseas and those using languages other than English.
