New Italy Swan Bay

Swan Bay (Richmond Valley - NSW) and New Italy are neighbouring rural areas with a few key differences in their housing and wealth. Swan Bay has larger homes, with 89.3% having three or more bedrooms, and a typical weekly household income of $1,833. In contrast, New Italy has a lower typical weekly household income of $1,158, but a far higher share of homes owned outright at 48.8%. New Italy also has more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (20.8% compared to 10.1% in Swan Bay) and a much higher share of people with no religion at 59.4%.

Both areas share very similar typical personal incomes and almost identical rates of one-parent families. This common ground extends to their lack of public transport use and the fact that no homes in either area are without a motor vehicle. While New Italy has more people living alone and more volunteers, the two neighbours track closely in their shared reliance on cars and a similar lack of walkable amenities.
