Berkeley Vale Mardi

Berkeley Vale and Mardi are neighbouring areas on the Central Coast, but they offer different living environments. Berkeley Vale is more likely to have separate houses (89.8%) and has much better access to health services and schools within a 15-minute walk. In contrast, Mardi has a higher share of large homes, with 95.2% having three or more bedrooms, and more people born overseas (19.6%). Residents in Mardi are also more likely to have completed Year 12 or a university degree.

Everyday life is quite similar in both places, with typical weekly personal incomes sitting at $790 and roughly 21% of the population being children under 15. These similarities exist alongside growing gaps in some areas; for example, the difference in the number of people born overseas and the share of renters has become more pronounced since 2011.
