Crosslands Wauchope

Wauchope and Crosslands are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, but they offer very different lifestyles. Wauchope is a larger, more walkable hub where 65.2% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of city amenities. In contrast, Crosslands is car-dependent, with a much higher share of large, separate houses; 98.1% of Crosslands homes have three or more bedrooms. There are also notable gaps in income and education, with households earning $3,000 or more a week far higher in Crosslands (17.8%) than in Wauchope (6.5%), and Year 12 completion far higher in Crosslands (43.2%) compared to Wauchope (33.2%).

These gaps in housing and wealth have grown wider since 2011. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas share similar patterns in other parts of life, such as the share of people who are in de facto relationships or those who have no religion. They also both have a relatively high proportion of older residents compared to the national figure, though this is more pronounced in Wauchope, where 25.4% of people are aged 65 and over.
