Aberdare Kitchener

Aberdare and Kitchener are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different housing and transport profiles. Aberdare is more densely settled, with 34.9% of homes rented and a high number of people living alone (30.3%). It is far more connected, with 100% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Kitchener consists entirely of separate houses, 89.7% of which have three or more bedrooms. Kitchener also has a higher typical weekly household income of $1,962, compared to $1,251 in Aberdare.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the share of people who use a language other than English at home. They also share similar levels of volunteering and the same number of schools within 3 km. While Aberdare is much more walkable and has more public transport options, Kitchener has a far higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 21.7%. This gap in recent arrivals, along with the differences in income and housing, has remained a distinct feature between the two neighbours.
