Elland South Grafton

South Grafton and Elland are neighbouring areas in New South Wales that offer very different lifestyles. South Grafton is a larger hub where people are more likely to rent (36.3%) and live in one-parent families (30.1%). It has a much higher rate of residents with long-term health conditions (39.3%) and is far more accessible, with many homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, parks and groceries. In contrast, Elland is a smaller, more affluent area with a much older typical resident (53 years) and a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (18.7%).

Both areas are very similar in the share of people who provide unpaid care, around 15%. This commonality exists alongside deep contrasts in how people live; Elland is car-dependent, while South Grafton is somewhat walkable. The gap in housing is stark, with Elland having a far higher share of homes owned outright (48.0%) compared to South Grafton (34.7%). This difference in stability is mirrored in the population movement, as South Grafton has seen far more people move in over the last five years.
