Georgetown Hamilton North

Georgetown (NSW) and Hamilton North are neighbouring areas with different profiles. Hamilton North is far more connected for commuters, with far more public transport stops and weekly departures, and more walkable amenities.

Georgetown (NSW) also has more high-earning households, with 24.0% earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 20.6% in Hamilton North.

These two areas share a very similar foundation, with the same typical resident age of 36 and identical shares of children under 15.
