Goodwood Island Yamba

Yamba (NSW) and Goodwood Island are neighbouring areas with very different scales and characters. Yamba (NSW) is a larger hub where 37.7% of people are seniors, far higher than the 14.3% on Goodwood Island. While Yamba (NSW) is more established with 51.2% of homes owned outright, Goodwood Island has a higher share of high earners, with 18.7% of people earning over $2,000 a week compared to 6.4% in Yamba (NSW). Goodwood Island is also more rural, with 32.1% of its workforce in agriculture, forestry and fishing, whereas Yamba (NSW) focuses on tourism and health care.

Both areas share a similar typical weekly family income of around $1,380 and have nearly identical rates of people using other languages at home. This shared economic baseline exists alongside stark differences in infrastructure; Yamba (NSW) is somewhat walkable with many residents within a short walk of shops and health services, while Goodwood Island is car-dependent. This gap in accessibility is far wider than it was in the past, as Yamba (NSW) continues to grow in population and connectivity.
