Neath Weston

Weston (NSW) and Neath are neighbouring areas with very different populations. Weston (NSW) is a younger community where the typical resident is 37, compared to 55 in Neath. Families are more common in Weston (NSW), where 21.4% of people are children and 31.0% of residents provide unpaid childcare. In contrast, Neath is home to many more seniors, with 34.9% of people aged 65 and over, and far more people living alone (43.8% versus 22.4% in Weston (NSW)).

While the two areas are similar in that they both consist almost entirely of separate houses, the gap in their walkability is widening. Weston (NSW) is now somewhat walkable, with far more homes within reach of schools and parks. Neath remains car-dependent and has far fewer people working or looking for work (40.5%) than Weston (NSW) (55.3%). This difference is consistent with Neath's much older population, as the typical household income there is also far lower at $792 per week.
