Federal Repentance Creek

Federal (NSW) and Repentance Creek are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different economic profiles. Federal (NSW) is more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,910 and 25.6% of homes earning $3,000 or more per week, compared to $1,187 and 11.4% in Repentance Creek. This wealth is reflected in housing costs, as the typical monthly loan payment in Federal (NSW) is $2,253, which is far higher than the $1,170 found in Repentance Creek.
