Dudley Kahibah

Kahibah and Dudley are neighbouring areas in Lake Macquarie with similar population sizes, though they offer very different lifestyles. Kahibah is much more walkable, with 69.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 100% having a 15-minute-city walkshed. In contrast, Dudley is dominated by larger homes, with separate houses making up 92.3% of dwellings and 89.2% having three or more bedrooms. Dudley also has a wealthier profile, where the typical weekly household income is $2,487, compared to $1,804 in Kahibah.

These two areas share many basic traits, such as a typical resident age of 39 and an identical share of people born overseas. They also both have about 3.3% of their population identifying as First Nations people. While they track closely in these areas, the gap in typical incomes and the share of high-earning households has remained significant over time.
