Elermore Vale Fletcher

Fletcher (NSW) and Elermore Vale are neighbouring areas with very different resident profiles. Fletcher (NSW) is a young, higher-earning hub where the typical resident is 32 and children under 15 make up 27.4% of the population. This is reflected in the housing, with 96.3% of homes having three or more bedrooms and a typical weekly household income of $2,545.
