Kenthurst Rouse Hill

Rouse Hill and Kenthurst are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Rouse Hill is a very walkable hub where the typical resident is 34 and many people were born overseas (38.4%). It has a high proportion of renters (39.7%) and a mix of housing, including a quarter of homes being flats or apartments. In contrast, Kenthurst is car-dependent and much older, with a typical age of 44. It is dominated by separate houses (95.6%), and nearly half of all homes are owned outright (48.1%).

Both areas share a similar typical weekly family income of around $3,000 and have nearly identical numbers of schools within 3 km. While they are alike in these respects, their physical layouts differ sharply. Rouse Hill has far more frequent public transport departures and a high share of homes within a 15-minute walk of shops and health services. Kenthurst is more rural in feel, with a much higher share of large homes with five or more bedrooms.
