Paterson Webbers Creek

Paterson (NSW) and Webbers Creek are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, but they differ greatly in size and layout. Paterson (NSW) is more developed, with a walkability score of 3.1 (mostly car-dependent) and nearly half its homes within a 15-minute walk of a park or school. In contrast, Webbers Creek is sparsely populated and car-dependent. There are also notable differences in their populations; children under 15 are far more common in Webbers Creek (42.9% compared to 20.7% in Paterson (NSW)), while people earning $2,000 or more a week are far more common in Paterson (NSW), where 13.3% reach this level compared to 0.0% in Webbers Creek.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining distinct in their roles as a small hub and a rural pocket. They are alike in that very few residents use a language other than English at home. While Paterson (NSW) has a higher share of working adults and more volunteers, both areas sit well below the national figure for the share of people with no religion, though this figure is far higher in Webbers Creek at 57.1%.
