Exeter Medway

Exeter (NSW) and Medway are two nearby New South Wales areas with distinct profiles. Exeter (NSW) has a much more highly qualified population, with 36.3% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 11.8% in Medway. Residents in Exeter (NSW) are also noticeably older, with a typical age of 53, and the area has a far higher share of people aged 65 and over at 32.4%. These trends are consistent with a larger number of professionals who work from home in Exeter (NSW).

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, such as typical weekly incomes of around $1,900 and a total absence of public transport commuting. Both are car-dependent areas where almost every home is a separate house.
