Chatsworth Woombah

Woombah and Chatsworth (NSW) are neighbouring areas in the Clarence Valley, but they differ sharply in wealth and demographics. Chatsworth (NSW) has a much higher share of high-income households, with 17.1% earning $3,000 or more a week compared to just 5.7% in Woombah. This gap extends to First Nations residents, who in Chatsworth (NSW) have a typical personal income of $2,500, far higher than the $477 typical in Woombah. While Woombah is more diverse with a larger First Nations population (3.4%) and more children under 15 (14.0%), Chatsworth (NSW) is composed entirely of separate houses.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people providing unpaid care. They also share very similar typical weekly rents, around $280 to $293, and nearly identical proportions of residents with a bachelor degree. Despite these similarities, the two places track differently in their accessibility; for example, while 47.6% of Woombah homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, no homes in Chatsworth (NSW) have that same access.
