Corney Town Lithgow

Lithgow and Corney Town are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Lithgow is a larger hub where 28.8% of people are seniors and the walkability score is a walker's paradise (8.2). In contrast, Corney Town is sparsely populated and mostly car-dependent (3.6), with far fewer seniors at 7.6%. This difference in scale is clear in their amenities; while most homes in Lithgow are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, Corney Town has no homes within that distance of either.

Both areas sit near the national figure for people with a long-term health condition, which is 40.9% in both places. They also share similar proportions of children under 15 and typical weekly rents around $270 to $280. While Lithgow has more full-time workers (56.9% compared to 30.4% in Corney Town), more people in Corney Town work from home, with a share of 21.7% that is about the same as the national figure.
