Ashby Island Maclean

Maclean and Ashby Island are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, but they function very differently. Maclean is a very walkable hub where typical weekly family incomes are far higher at $1,269 compared to $774 on Ashby Island. While Maclean has a larger population and a significant number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, Ashby Island is sparsely populated and car-dependent. A striking difference is seen in home loans, with the typical monthly payment on Ashby Island being far higher at $3,250, compared to $1,387 in Maclean.

Both areas are very similar in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,000. They also share the same number of people per bedroom. While Maclean offers a wealth of amenities and public transport, and Ashby Island has almost none, the two areas remain closely matched in the typical advantage score of their schools.
