Beechwood Huntingdon

Beechwood and Huntingdon are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, though they have very different profiles. Beechwood is the larger of the two, with a typical resident aged 37 and a higher share of adults working or looking for work (62.6%). It is a more mobile place, with 47.8% of people moving in the last five years. In contrast, Huntingdon is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical age of 51. While Beechwood is mostly car-dependent, it is more walkable than Huntingdon, which is described as car-dependent and has no public transport stops.

There are few indicators where these two areas are moving closer together, as most gaps have widened since 2011. They do share some similarities, such as having no residents who speak little or no English and the same number of people per home (2.8). Both areas also lack homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. However, the divide in their populations is stark; the age gap between the two has grown, with residents now far older in Huntingdon.
