Lambton Rankin Park

Lambton and Rankin Park are neighbouring areas in Newcastle with very different housing and street layouts. Lambton is very walkable, with 98.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of city amenities and 94.8% near health services. In contrast, Rankin Park is mostly car-dependent, where no homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services. Housing also differs sharply; Rankin Park is dominated by separate houses (99.2%) and larger homes with three or more bedrooms (97.7%), while Lambton has a much higher rental rate of 35.2% and more people living alone (29.6%).

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, from a typical resident age of 40 to almost identical weekly family incomes of around $2,350. They also have similar proportions of people providing unpaid care and those who served in the Defence Force. While Lambton remains far more connected to public transport and shops, both areas are well above the national figure for adults with a bachelor degree or higher.
