Griffith Widgelli

Griffith (NSW) and Widgelli are nearby areas with very different characters. Griffith (NSW) is a larger centre where 27.2% of people were born overseas and 28.1% use a language other than English at home. It is more walkable, as the typical home is within 15 minutes of a park, and 17% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Widgelli is a sparsely populated area where 100% of homes are separate houses and 29.5% of people work from home. A higher share of its residents volunteer, at 26.0% compared to 12.7% in Griffith (NSW).

While they are different in size, the two areas share similar family structures, such as having roughly the same share of children under 15.
