Renwick Welby

Renwick and Welby are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different social profiles. Renwick is a high-income area where the typical weekly household income is $2,377, far higher than the $1,357 found in Welby. Education levels are also much higher in Renwick, where 60% of residents finished Year 12 and 26.1% hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 39.3% and 14.5% in Welby. Renwick is also more family-oriented, with 24.6% of people under 15 and 39% of adults providing unpaid childcare.

These two places have stayed very similar in their commute times to the city and their rates of volunteering.

This high rate of recent movement in Renwick is consistent with its higher rent of $620 per week and its more transient population compared to Welby.
