Catherine Field Oran Park

Oran Park and Catherine Field are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different layouts. Oran Park is a newer, more urban hub where 74.6% of people moved in during the last five years and atypical resident is just 30. Its walkability score is 4.8 (somewhat walkable), with 45.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Catherine Field is mostly car-dependent, with a score of 2.3 and only 2.6% of homes near groceries. Catherine Field also has a much higher share of homeowners who own their place outright (32.5% compared to 7.9% in Oran Park).

Everyday life is similar in both places when it comes to money and services, with nearly identical typical weekly household incomes and the same number of schools within 3km. While they share these commonalities, the gap in mobility is wide; Oran Park is far more likely to have residents within walking distance of schools and public transport. This difference in accessibility has grown, while both areas remain younger than the national figure.
