Dunmore Kiama

Kiama and Dunmore (NSW) are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Kiama is a very walkable hub where residents are far older, with a typical age of 52 and 32.4% aged 65 and over. It has a higher share of renters (22.4%) and people living alone (28.4%). In contrast, Dunmore (NSW) is mostly car-dependent and has a younger feel, with a typical age of 41. Homes there are overwhelmingly separate houses (94.6%) and are typically larger, with 93.7% having three or more bedrooms.

More people have moved into both areas in the last five years, but this trend is more pronounced in Dunmore (NSW), where 54.5% of residents arrived recently compared to 41.8% in Kiama. Despite this widening gap in mobility, the two areas share some common ground. They have similar proportions of people working from home (about 27%) and almost identical typical monthly home-loan payments of around $2,200. Both also have similar shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
