Beechwood Hartys Plains

Beechwood and Hartys Plains are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Beechwood is a larger community and is much younger, with a typical resident aged 37 and 22.3% of people being children. In contrast, Hartys Plains is sparsely populated and far older; the typical resident is 57 and 30.6% of the population are seniors. This difference in age helps explain why 33.2% of adults in Beechwood provide unpaid childcare, compared to just 11.1% in Hartys Plains. Beechwood also has more diverse infrastructure, including more public transport stops and a walkability score of 2.5 (mostly car-dependent), while Hartys Plains is car-dependent.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, maintaining a similar typical weekly personal income of around $700. They also both lack easy access to essentials, as no homes in either area are within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. While Hartys Plains has a higher share of people using another language at home at 13.9%, Beechwood has a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 7.0%, which is well above the national figure.
