Hillvue Tamworth

Hillvue and Tamworth are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different residential profiles. Hillvue is a larger suburb of detached family homes, where 93% of houses have three or more bedrooms and typical weekly household incomes are far higher at $1,701. In contrast, Tamworth is more densely populated with smaller homes, where 60% of people live alone and the typical weekly income is much lower at $697. Tamworth also has a much higher proportion of renters at 51.1% and more people born overseas (18.0%) compared to Hillvue (7.0%).

Both areas share similar terrain and a similar level of school advantage, but their connectivity and demographics are drifting apart. While Hillvue is more car-dependent, Tamworth is a walker's paradise with far more public transport stops and a higher number of people who do not own a motor vehicle. This contrast is reflected in the workforce, where 64.5% of adults in Hillvue are working or looking for work, compared to just 36.6% in Tamworth.
