Aldavilla Sherwood

Aldavilla and Sherwood (Kempsey - NSW) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Aldavilla is much larger and has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 24.7%. It is also a younger area, where the typical resident is 36, and more people live alone (23.2%). In contrast, Sherwood (Kempsey - NSW) is a smaller, older community where the typical resident is 55 and 32.4% are seniors. Sherwood (Kempsey - NSW) also has a far higher share of people who finished Year 12 (39.0%) and those who volunteer (23.1%).

While these two areas have tracked differently, they share very similar typical weekly household incomes of around $1,200 to $1,300. They are also alike in that no one uses public transport to commute and neither area has any homes within a 15-minute walk of a park or grocery store. Both areas sit well below the national figure for the share of adults who are working or looking for work.
