Mardi Wyong Creek

Mardi and Wyong Creek are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Mardi is a younger, more diverse community where the typical resident is 37 and 19.6% were born overseas. It is more urban, with a walkability score that is somewhat walkable, and many homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and parks. In contrast, Wyong Creek is car-dependent, with a much older typical resident of 47. It has a higher share of wealthy households, with 33.1% earning $3,000 or more a week, and nearly half of its homes are owned outright.

Both areas share a similar rate of adults working or looking for work, which sits at around 63%. This commonality exists alongside a stark divide in housing and transport. While 29.5% of Mardi residents rent, only 10.0% do so in Wyong Creek. This is consistent with the high number of detached houses in Wyong Creek, where 96.9% of homes are separate houses. Meanwhile, Mardi provides much better access to public transport, with far more stops and departures per 1,000 people.
