Jesmond Lambton

Lambton and Jesmond are neighbouring areas in Newcastle with very different profiles. Lambton is a wealthier area where the typical family income is $2,351 a week, far higher than the $1,444 seen in Jesmond. Residents are far older in Lambton, with a typical age of 40 compared to just 31 in Jesmond. Jesmond is much more diverse, with 36.9% of people born overseas and 35.1% using another language at home, while the figures in Lambton are 13.6% and 10.5% respectively. These differences extend to housing, as separate houses are far more common in Lambton (76.1%) than in Jesmond (46.3%).

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people aged 65 and over. They are also very similar in other ways, with an equal share of First Nations people and the same number of people per home. This shared local environment is matched by similar walkability and access to parks. While they have distinct social and economic profiles, the gap in their typical age has widened since 2011, and the difference in the share of renters has also grown.
