Kurri Kurri Neath

Kurri Kurri and Neath are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Kurri Kurri is a larger, very walkable hub where 83.2% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 33.7% of households are renting. In contrast, Neath is a car-dependent area where the population is far older; the typical resident is 55 compared to 38 in Kurri Kurri. Neath has a much higher share of people aged 65 and over (34.9% versus 19.2%) and more homes owned outright (51.0% compared to 29.5% in Kurri Kurri).

Daily life in both places shares several similarities, such as similar rates of people who speak a language other than English at home and nearly identical drive times to the city. Both areas also have a high proportion of First Nations people compared to the national figure. While Kurri Kurri has a higher share of adults working or looking for work, the gap between the two areas in this measure has widened since 2011.
