Barnsley Edgeworth

Edgeworth and Barnsley are neighbouring areas in Lake Macquarie with very different streetscapes. Edgeworth is a more walkable area, described as somewhat walkable, where 56.1% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 48.3% are near health services. In contrast, Barnsley is mostly car-dependent, with just 1.1% of homes within walking distance of groceries. Edgeworth also has a higher share of renters (26.7% compared to 13.0% in Barnsley) and more people living alone (28.2% versus 17.9%). Barnsley is dominated by separate houses, which make up 99.2% of its dwellings.

These two places have tracked closely since 2011, remaining very similar in several key ways. They share the same typical resident age of 39 and an almost identical share of people with no religion (around 43.7%). Both areas also have a similar proportion of children under 15 and identical typical monthly mortgage payments of $1,733.
