Deep Creek Skillion Flat

Deep Creek (Kempsey - NSW) and Skillion Flat are two sparsely populated neighbouring areas. Deep Creek (Kempsey - NSW) has a more elderly population, with a typical age of 54, and a higher share of people living alone at 28.6%. It also sees more people with long-term health conditions (36.0%) and those providing unpaid care (21.0%). In contrast, Skillion Flat has more people in de facto relationships (27.9%) and a higher typical household income of $1,562 per week, compared to $1,071 in Deep Creek (Kempsey - NSW).
