Largs Morpeth

Largs and Morpeth are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different populations. Largs is a younger area where 21.5% of people are children and the typical resident is 39. This area has larger homes, with 92.6% having three or more bedrooms, and a higher typical weekly household income of $2,065. In contrast, Morpeth is much older; the typical resident is 55 and 37.8% of people are aged 65 and over. Morpeth has a much lower typical household income of $1,122 and a higher share of people living alone at 33.8%.

These two places have almost identical rates of people using another language at home and similar levels of unpaid care. However, the gap in their transport and accessibility profiles remains stark. Morpeth is far more connected, with far more public transport departures and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. This stands in contrast to Largs, where people have a longer walk to the nearest stop.
