Jerseyville South West Rocks

South West Rocks and Jerseyville are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, but they differ in size and layout. South West Rocks is a larger hub where residents are far older, with a typical age of 58, and it is somewhat walkable. In contrast, Jerseyville is sparsely populated, car-dependent, and has a younger typical age of 50. The two areas also differ in their housing and social makeup: separate houses make up 100% of homes in Jerseyville compared to 81.3% in South West Rocks, while one-parent families are far more common in South West Rocks at 14.4%.

Both areas share a very similar profile in other ways, including their typical weekly personal incomes and the size of their Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations. While they are alike in these figures, some gaps are wide. For example, First Nations personal income is far higher in Jerseyville, and there are far more people with no religion there. These two neighbours also track differently in their connection to the land, with Jerseyville having a much higher share of people working in agriculture, forestry and fishing.
