Kundabung South Kempsey

South Kempsey and Kundabung are neighbouring areas with very different social and physical landscapes. South Kempsey has a much larger First Nations population at 20.0%, compared to 4.5% in Kundabung. It also has a higher share of one-parent families (26.4% versus 11.3%) and people living alone (26.5% versus 14.5%). Kundabung is more likely to have residents who finished Year 12 (40.4% versus 27.7%) and has a far higher share of homes owned outright (44.0% versus 33.7%). In contrast, renting is far more common in South Kempsey, where 32.4% of homes are rented compared to just 9.2% in Kundabung.

Local accessibility is a gap that continues to widen between the two. South Kempsey is mostly car-dependent but has many more people within walking distance of parks, schools and groceries. Kundabung is entirely car-dependent with almost no homes within a 15-minute walk of these services. Both areas are similar in that very few people use a language other than English at home, and the typical weekly rent is nearly identical at around $270 to $280.
