Louth Park South Maitland

Louth Park and South Maitland are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Louth Park is a wealthier, younger area where typical weekly household income is $3,293 and a high 58.2% of residents finished Year 12. It is characterised by large homes, with 97% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, South Maitland is much older, with a typical resident aged 44 and 22.5% of the population aged 65 or over. Incomes are significantly lower here, with the typical household earning $995 a week, and renting is far more common at 32% compared to just 5.7% in Louth Park.

These two areas share several traits, including similar proportions of people born overseas and those who use another language at home. They also have nearly identical drive times to the city and similar school advantage scores. However, their different paths are clear; while Louth Park has far more people working from home, South Maitland has a much higher share of people living alone and those with long-term health conditions.
