Callaghan Mayfield West

Mayfield West and Callaghan are neighbouring areas with very different populations. Mayfield West is a more traditional residential area where the typical resident is 34 and 17.6% of the population are children. In contrast, Callaghan is dominated by youth; the typical resident is only 20, and children under 15 are entirely absent. These differences extend to income and work, with typical weekly pay far higher in Mayfield West ($808) compared to Callaghan ($302), and a much higher share of full-time employment in Mayfield West.

Both areas sit around the national figure for the share of people born overseas. They are also alike in the number of schools within 3 km and the typical drive time to the city. However, their local experiences vary, as Callaghan has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals and people who moved in the last five years. This mobility is consistent with its very young population, while Mayfield West has more established households and a higher share of adults with bachelor degrees.
