Auburn vs Clyde

Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 2.4 km apart · Auburn profile · Clyde profile

Auburn Clyde

Auburn (NSW) is a large, busy centre, while Clyde (NSW) is sparsely populated with only 9 residents. There are stark differences in the people who live here: the typical resident in Auburn is 31, while in Clyde they are far older at 51. Typical weekly household income is also far higher in Auburn at $1,533 compared to $725 in Clyde. Homes in Auburn are much more crowded, with 3.3 people per home compared to just 1.0 in Clyde, which helps explain why Auburn is far more likely to have homes within walking distance of schools and health services.

Despite these contrasts, the two neighbouring areas share some basics, such as the 3-minute walk to the nearest transport stop. They are both very easy to get around, with Auburn being a walker's paradise and Clyde also being very walkable. While Auburn has far more public transport stops and routes, the gap in the number of people who can reach the city within 45 minutes by transit is widening, with Clyde now far larger than Auburn in this measure.
