Aberdeen Glenbawn

Aberdeen (NSW) and Glenbawn are nearby areas with very different scales and profiles. Aberdeen (NSW) is a more established hub with 2,051 people, where 18.8% are seniors and many residents live within a 15-minute walk of shops and schools. In contrast, Glenbawn is sparsely populated with just 89 residents. It is a wealthier area, where the typical weekly personal income is $1,166, far higher than the $716 seen in Aberdeen (NSW). Glenbawn also has a more qualified workforce, with 49.3% of residents completing Year 12 compared to 29.9% in Aberdeen (NSW).

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, as both have a similar share of First Nations people and typical weekly rents are nearly the same at around $270 to $280. They also both have a high proportion of detached houses. While Aberdeen (NSW) is somewhat walkable and has regular public transport, Glenbawn is car-dependent with no public transport stops. The gap in incomes and employment levels between the two has widened since 2011, with Glenbawn becoming far more likely to have residents earning $2,000 or more a week.
