Cabramatta Cabramatta West

Cabramatta and Cabramatta West are neighbouring areas with very different housing and health access. Cabramatta is more compact, with only 38.8% of homes being separate houses and far fewer people having three or more bedrooms (50.2%). It is also much more accessible, with 89.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. In contrast, Cabramatta West is dominated by separate houses (85.6%) and larger homes, though only 42.0% of residents live within a short walk of health services.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. This similarity exists alongside a strong shared cultural identity, as both have very high proportions of people born overseas and those using a language other than English at home. Over time, the gaps between them have shifted, with Cabramatta remaining far more likely to have residents who speak a First Nations language (+14 pts gap) and more people who rent their homes.
