Littleton South Bowenfels

South Bowenfels and Littleton are neighbouring areas with very different housing and income profiles. South Bowenfels is the wealthier of the two, with a typical household income of $1,608 and 21.7% of homes earning $3,000 or more per week. In contrast, Littleton has a typical household income of $1,161 and a higher share of renters at 19.8%. While Littleton is dominated by detached houses (97.3%), South Bowenfels has more variety, with 29.5% of homes being townhouses or semi-detached. Access to services also differs; South Bowenfels is far better for walking to groceries (78.4%) and health services (45.6%), whereas Littleton is far more walkable for schools (100%) and public transport.

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, maintaining a shared identity in several key ways. Both have very similar proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (around 5%) and almost identical rates of people who speak little or no English. They also share a similar typical personal weekly income of around $720. This consistency exists despite the gap in education, where 45.3% of South Bowenfels residents finished Year 12 compared to 30.5% in Littleton.
