Lade Vale Merrill

Lade Vale and Merrill are two small, sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Lade Vale is an older community where the typical resident is 48 and 30.8% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Merrill is far younger, with a typical resident aged 39 and 36.8% of its population being children under 15. These different demographics are reflected in home costs, with typical monthly loan payments in Lade Vale reaching $2,700, which is far higher than the $867 seen in Merrill.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people caring for children unpaid, though this role is far more common in Merrill at 50.0%.

While Lade Vale has seen more people move in over the last five years, the two areas remain very similar in their unemployment rates and the share of high earners.
