Cornwallis McGraths Hill

McGraths Hill and Cornwallis are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. McGraths Hill is a larger residential hub where 23.4% of people are children and 10.6% are aged 65 and over. In contrast, Cornwallis is sparsely populated and much more linguistically diverse, with 63.6% of people using a language other than English at home and 52.3% born overseas. A huge gap also exists in accessibility; most homes in McGraths Hill are within a 15-minute walk of a school, while only 15.2% of homes in Cornwallis have that same access.

Both areas are almost identical in the share of people in de facto relationships, which sits at 15.2% for each. This shared domestic normality exists alongside a stark contrast in how people work, with 77.8% of Cornwallis residents working from home compared to 24.7% in McGraths Hill. While Cornwallis is car-dependent, McGraths Hill is very walkable, a difference that is reflected in the typical weekly rent, which is $200 higher in McGraths Hill.
