Euroka Kempsey

Kempsey and Euroka are neighbouring areas with very different social and economic profiles. Kempsey has a much larger First Nations population at 15.7% and far more one-parent families (37.3%) and people living alone (47.0%). This is consistent with a higher rate of renting (52.0%) and a typical weekly household income of $881, which is among the lowest for its level. In contrast, Euroka is older, with 26.7% of people aged 65 and over, and is much wealthier, with a typical household income of $1,875 and 47.5% of homes owned outright.

Both areas are almost identical in that very few residents speak little or no English. While they share this trait, their daily lives differ greatly; Kempsey is well connected by public transport and local shops, whereas Euroka is car-dependent with no public transport stops. The gap in employment is also significant, as the share of adults working or looking for work is far higher in Euroka (61.0%) than in Kempsey (43.7%).
