Avondale Wongawilli

Avondale (NSW) and Wongawilli are neighbouring areas with very different household profiles. Wongawilli is a much younger area, where the typical resident is 31 and 29.3% of the population are children under 15. This contrasts with Avondale (NSW), where the typical resident is 40 and 18.1% are aged 65 and over. Wongawilli also has a higher share of university graduates (25.1%) and typical weekly household incomes are far higher at $2,841, compared to $1,524 in Avondale (NSW).

While these two areas have tracked differently over the last few years, they share a similar distance to the city and a lack of groceries or health services within a 15-minute walk. Both areas also have similar rates of unemployment and a similar share of people in de facto relationships.
