Nana Glen and Lowanna are two nearby areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Nana Glen is a more affluent area where the typical household income is $1,540 a week, compared to $820 in Lowanna. This wealth gap is seen in the homes, as Nana Glen has far more large houses with three or more bedrooms (81.6% versus 54.0%) and higher monthly mortgage payments.
