Abermain Elrington

Abermain and Elrington are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, though they differ significantly in size and demographics. Abermain is a larger community with a much younger typical resident aged 37, compared to 51 in Elrington. This younger profile is reflected in the families; Abermain has a far higher share of one-parent families (19.5%) and children under 15 (22.7%), while Elrington is far wealthier, with 30.9% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. Abermain is also more developed for pedestrians, with a mostly car-dependent walkability score of 3.0 and far more people living within a 15-minute walk of a park or school.

Both areas have almost no residents who speak little or no English and share similar average school advantage scores. They also have nearly identical numbers of people per home and similar travel times to the nearest transport stop.
