Colebee Nirimba Fields

Colebee and Nirimba Fields are neighbouring areas in Blacktown, though they offer different living patterns. Colebee is dominated by separate houses, with 99.7% of homes being detached, and 98% of residents living within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Nirimba Fields has a much higher share of renters at 49.8% and is far more dependent on cars, with a 36-minute walk to the nearest stop. Nirimba Fields is also more diverse, with 63.4% of people born overseas and 68.7% using another language at home, compared to 46.7% and 49.2% in Colebee.

The two areas share very similar typical weekly personal incomes of around $1,160 and nearly identical monthly mortgage payments of $3,000. However, the gap in housing types is widening, as Nirimba Fields now has a much higher share of flats and apartments while Colebee remains almost entirely separate houses. This difference in housing is consistent with the fact that Colebee has far more homes with three or more bedrooms, which helps explain why its typical household size is higher at 3.7 people.
