Dapto Horsley

Dapto and Horsley are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with distinct characters. Horsley is a wealthier area where typical households earn $2,164 a week, compared to $1,475 in Dapto. This wealth is reflected in the housing; 97% of Horsley homes have three or more bedrooms and separate houses are far higher in Horsley. In contrast, Dapto is more accessible for daily needs, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (44.9% vs 3.1%) and schools (90.8% vs 45.5%).

These two areas share several similarities, including almost identical proportions of people who have served in the Defence Force and those who volunteer. However, the gap in accessibility is widening as Dapto remains far more walkable for groceries and health services. While Horsley has a higher share of children and a more qualified workforce, Dapto has a higher proportion of older residents, with people aged 65 and over making up 20% of the population.
