Round Swamp Running Stream

Running Stream and Round Swamp are two sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Running Stream is larger and more connected, with two public transport stops and a typical weekly family income of $1,292. In contrast, Round Swamp has no public transport stops, a typical family income of $687, and typical monthly home loan payments that are well higher at $2,061 compared to $1,300 in Running Stream. Round Swamp also has more people per bedroom, at 1.2 compared to 0.7 in Running Stream.

Both areas are essentially car-dependent, as neither has a walkable score that allows for easy access to amenities. This shared reliance on cars is a defining feature of both places, where no homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, or grocery store. While Running Stream has a slightly younger typical resident at 61 compared to 63 in Round Swamp, both areas sit far below the national figure for typical weekly household incomes.
