Dapto Haywards Bay

Dapto and Haywards Bay are neighbouring areas with very different housing and income profiles. Haywards Bay is a wealthier area where 33.6% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 14.1% in Dapto. It is also dominated by large family homes, with 99.5% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms and a far higher share of detached houses. In contrast, Dapto has more renters and a higher number of people living alone (25.0% compared to 9.9% in Haywards Bay), alongside a far higher share of one-parent families at 18.6%.

Daily life in both places is similar in some ways, with almost the same number of people volunteering and providing unpaid care. However, the two areas differ in how people get around. Dapto is much more connected, with far more public transport stops and a higher share of homes within a short walk of schools and health services. This is a contrast to Haywards Bay, where residents are more likely to have moved in the last five years and the typical household earns more, but almost no homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school or health clinic.
