Caddens South Penrith

South Penrith and Caddens are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Caddens is a more affluent and diverse area, where 38.8% of people were born overseas and 41.8% use a language other than English at home. It has a highly qualified workforce, with 32.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, South Penrith has a higher share of one-parent families (18.6%) and a much higher proportion of residents who own their homes outright (31.1%). It is also far more walkable, with 99.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, compared to just 40.9% in Caddens.

Both areas share a similar level of school advantage and have an equal share of homes within 10 minutes of public transport and 15 minutes of a park. These similarities exist alongside a widening gap in housing and population movement. Since 2011, the difference in how many people have moved house recently has grown, with 69.6% of Caddens residents arriving in the last five years. This is far higher than the 32.1% in South Penrith.
