Bathurst Robin Hill

Bathurst and Robin Hill are neighbouring areas with very different lifestyles. Bathurst is a more transient and diverse hub where 53.3% of people moved in the last five years and 27.3% arrived from overseas. It has many more renters (53.5%) and people living alone (45.3%). In contrast, Robin Hill is an affluent residential area where homes are almost exclusively separate houses (99.4%) and mostly owned outright (56.8%). The typical weekly household income in Robin Hill is $2,708, which is far higher than the $1,209 seen in Bathurst.

Both areas have similar rates of full-time employment, which sit close to the national figure. However, they differ in how people get around. Bathurst is a walker's paradise with many public transport options and a short walk to shops and schools. Robin Hill is mostly car-dependent, with no homes without a motor vehicle and a much longer walk to the nearest transport stop.
